Manufacturing 2000

Manufacturing 2000
Manufacturing 2000

Futuristic insights into 21st-century manufacturing trends.

If you're fascinated by industrial innovation and want to see how someone from 1994 envisioned the future of manufacturing, "Manufacturing 2000" might be an intriguing read. It's like a time capsule that shows us what predictions were made and allows us to compare them with the actual progress and shifts in the sector. You'll get a perspective on how far we've come and maybe reflect on where we still need to go.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

William Duncan, a technology visionary with over 20 years' experience in manufacturing, believes you must "anticipate change, initiate change, and shape change" to succeed in today's - and tomorrow's - global marketplace. In Manufacturing 2000, Duncan opens a window into the future for all managers through his refreshing, useable model for predicting trends, assessing needs, and achieving goals. Duncan's highly practical model is based on "thinking in three dimensions." It provides a framework for identifying and evaluating trends in technology and the manufacturing environment to create an accurate vision of your organization's future and the "critical-path" approach to orchestrating all the actions required to fulfill that vision, meeting every demand and change the future brings. Applying futuristic thinking to proven industrial practices, Duncan paints a detailed picture of the projected course of American manufacturing over the next two decades. His model is adaptable to any manufacturing organization, providing clear guidelines for constructing comprehensive strategic plans.
