Books

The first book in the Plant Manager Series. Learn how to design Power BI dashboards for OEE, quality, production, TPM, and continuous improvement using practical manufacturing examples.

In diesem praxisorientierten Leitfaden verbindet Professor Mohammed Hamed Ahmed Soliman – Lean-Experte, Executive Advisor und Autor von über 100 Fachpublikationen – die bewährten Prinzipien des Toyota-Produktionssystems mit modernen digitalen Fertigungstechnologien.

In The Complete FMEA Handbook präsentiert Bestsellerautor Mohammed Hamed Ahmed Soliman, bekannt durch Practical Guide to FMEA and Risk Assessment Using FMEA, ein modernes Standardwerk für Ingenieure, Führungskräfte und Qualitätsfachleute. Aufbauend auf den bewährten Konzepten seines früheren Werks bietet dieses Buch neue Praxisbeispiele, aktuelle KI-Anwendungen und erweiterte Einblicke für die Anforderungen moderner Unternehmen.

Wenn Sie ein kleines Unternehmen führen, wissen Sie, wie anstrengend es sein kann, den täglichen Betrieb aufrechtzuerhalten. Ständiges Krisenmanagement, unklare Verantwortlichkeiten, wiederkehrende Fehler und chaotische Abläufe sind keine Zeichen von Wachstum – sie sind Anzeichen eines Systems, das verbessert werden muss.

The Global Quality Excellence Paradigm clarifies the landscape of modern quality management. Discover what each framework does best: ISO 9001 for reliable systems, TQM for culture, EFQM and Baldrige for holistic performance, and Lean Six Sigma for precision and speed. Learn how to integrate them into a single, powerful management system that ensures compliance, drives improvement, and delivers sustainable results. A complete reference for leaders and practitioners committed to quality, performance, and value creation.

In this groundbreaking guide, Dr. Mohammed Hamed Ahmed Soliman — engineer, professor, and industry consultant — takes you on a practical journey into the world of AI-driven maintenance. You’ll discover how to transform operational data into actionable intelligence, reduce unplanned failures, extend equipment life, and maximize return on assets.

Error-proofing is no longer just about simple jigs and sensors. In the era of Industry 4.0, factories demand smarter, AI-powered approaches to achieve zero defects at the source.

Many companies chase lean tools—kanban, takt time, one-piece flow—but fail to grasp the deeper philosophy behind them. While Just-in-Time (JIT) gets most of the spotlight, it’s Jidoka—the second pillar of the Toyota Production System (TPS)—that makes quality truly sustainable.

Just-in-Time Production takes you behind the scenes of Toyota’s revolutionary system, showing how the company emerged stronger than competitors after the 1970 oil crisis and became a global benchmark in manufacturing excellence. Learn why Western automakers misunderstood JIT—and how Lean Thinking, as popularized by James P. Womack, revealed the true power of connecting the whole value chain to customer demand.

One piece flow (or single-piece flow) is a lean manufacturing strategy where products are moved through production steps one unit at a time, rather than in batches. It improves efficiency and reduces waste by eliminating inventory bottlenecks between workstations, allowing for faster delivery and better quality control.

This practical guide introduces Value Stream Mapping (VSM)—a foundational Lean tool that visually captures every step in the flow of materials and information required to deliver a product or service. Used effectively, process mapping enables teams to identify waste, streamline workflows, and align operations with customer value.

Stop failures before they happen—master FMEA the right way.Whether you're designing a product, improving a process, or leading a Six Sigma team, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is one of the most powerful tools you can use to anticipate and prevent risk.This practical guide cuts through the jargon and shows you exactly how to use FMEA effectively—in design, manufacturing, services, and more.

This book simplifies OEE by breaking it down into its three core elements—Availability, Performance, and Quality—and explains how to measure, analyze, and improve them. Building on the proven foundations of Lean and the Toyota Way, it also shows how emerging technologies are transforming OEE into a predictive, real-time system.

Practical Heijunka implementation guidelines featuring Heijunka box and SMED checklists to stabilize production and overcome demand fluctuation. Bring the best of Lean into your factory—make changeovers faster, production smoother, operations more predictable, and customers happier.

Every patient deserves a health system that cannot fail them. Not one that tries hard, but one that is designed to be safe.High Reliability Healthcare gives clinicians, managers, and leaders the conceptual foundation and the practical tools to build exactly that — from quality measurement frameworks and improvement models, to root cause analysis, risk management, and the governance structures that make excellence permanent rather than occasional.Grounded in international evidence and uniquely contextualised for the South African health system by Winnie Moleko and Grace Labadarios, this is the definitive text for anyone serious about healthcare quality.Foreword by Dr Sibongiseni Dhlomo, Deputy Minister of Health, South Africa.261 pages. 11 chapters. Everything you need to lead the transformation.
