This book shows how to consistently achieve annual and multiannual manufacturing profit targets, regardless of the evolution of sales volumes, increasing or decreasing using the Manufacturing Cost Policy Deployment (MCPD) system. Managers and practitioners within the manufacturing companies will discover a practical approach within the MCPD system that will help them develop and support their long-term, medium-term, and short-term profitability and productivity strategies. The book presents both the basic concepts of MCPD and the key elements of transforming manufacturing companies through the MCPD system, as well as supporting the consistent growth of external and internal profit by directing all systematic and systemic improvements based on annual and multiannual Improvement of Manufacturing Costs (MCI) targets and means for each Product-Family Cost (PFC).
This book is unique because it presents two types of systematic and systemic improvement projects for MCI that have been applied over the years in various multinational manufacturing companies operating in highly competitive markets to address consistent cost reduction of Losses and Waste (CLW).
Readers will discover the practical approach of MCI based on a structured approach to MCPD beyond the traditional approach to manufacturing improvements based on improved time and quality. Therefore, from the perspective of the MCPD system, multiannual manufacturing target profits are met, while annual and multiannual manufacturing target costs have a predetermined stake and not a result of the improvements already made.

Reviews
This book is different. Firstly, it acknowledges the fact that people find implementation difficult so it approaches the situation by focusing on a number of specific scenarios --some involving growth, some involving decline …. and takes the reader through the detailed application of MCPD in these scenarios.
The author’s experience as a lean manufacturing consultant has clearly shaped his approach to the development of strategy and practice - no bad thing obviously … but he has added his own thoughtful and thorough approach on top to provide a ’system’ capable of providing real improvements in manufacturing productivity and profitability.
The book is detailed and peppered with abbreviations - sometimes making it quite a ‘hard’ read. It is also generally a book that suits readers not afraid of quantitative approaches and the application of mathematical formulae. However the author also recognizes that improving productivity via a structured, quantitative approach also brings intangible benefits.
It is worth persevering with the detail to uncover the underlying principles and ‘truths’ that will allow you to ‘make a difference’."
