Mobley explains his continuous-improvement program that integrates all plant functions into a single, focused effort. His basic premise is that all corporate functions from the board room to the shipping department, though apparently not the cafeteria or the rest rooms, must share a common vision and work together efficiently. He begins by asserting America's glorious place in the world market, then discusses such elements of the plan as good business, equipment reliability, effective organization, employee involvement, training, operating dynamics analysis, and maintenance improvement.

Total Plant Performance Management (TPPM) is an unparalleled continuous-improvement program that integrates all plant functions into a single focused effort. The fundamental premise is that all corporate functions, from the boardroom to the shipping department, must share a common vision and effectively work together. This book details TPPM's proven method of implementing continuous improvement throughout your total corporation, not just in certain departments. It shows you how to promote, implement, and maintain continuous improvement; effectively involve all employees; train people the right way; measure equipment reliability and improve maintenance; design and select machines; organize employees within the TPPM plant; avoid plan failure; and analyze the operating dynamics of critical process systems.
