But times have been changing and GAFFER's future looks bleak. Jake is a retired production planner, reflecting on his long history with the GAFFER factory and what is currently happening. He wonders how things might change as their main customer wants a completely new part to be not only produced, but also designed at GAFFER. Just when the old management is about to mess up the relationship with the customer, there is a new factory manager. He starts turning the factory around and Jake shares all of the juicy stories with his coffee mate, Ben.Engineering management collection.2376-4902Production managementCase studiesOrganizational changeCase studiesAutomobile supplies industryCase studiesLibros electronicos.change managementcollaborative designmanagement trainingmanufacturing managementoperational excellenceorganizational knowledgepeople developmentquality managementsupply chain managementteamworkProduction managementOrganizational changeAutomobile supplies industry658.5McKay Kenneth N.1953-,471876Wiers Vincent C.
