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. 410 0$aEngineering management collection.$x2376-4902 606 $aProduction management$vCase studies 606 $aOrganizational change$vCase studies 606 $aAutomobile supplies industry$vCase studies 608 $aLibros electronicos. 610 $achange management 610 $acollaborative design 610 $amanagement training 610 $amanufacturing management 610 $aoperational excellence 610 $aorganizational knowledge 610 $apeople development 610 $aquality management 610 $asupply chain management 610 $ateamwork 615 0$aProduction management 615 0$aOrganizational change 615 0$aAutomobile supplies industry 676 $a658.5 700 $aMcKay$b Kenneth N.$f1953-,$0471876 702 $aWiers$b Vincent C.
