It focuses primarily on strategies that can be adopted by small and middle-sized enterprises in manufacturing in order to meet the global challenges and competition. The book begins with an introduction to CI (or Kaizen), explaining different CI approaches and strategies. Chapter 2 offers a literature review of CI, examining conceptual frameworks, case studies, and surveys. Next, the book deals with the design of the study, detailing the work done in each phase along with the tools, techniques and models. Chapter 4 presents a detailed survey to determine the present status of continuous improvement strategies in the Indian manufacturing industry, and to also assess the role of key enablers leading to improve the performance of manufacturing operations. Chapter 5 is comprised of detailed case studies to further analyze the application of the discussed CI strategies. The purpose of Chapter 6 is to develop the implementation plan based on multicriteria decision making for improving the performance of SMEs and synthesis of data using Decision making techniques and Structural Equation Modeling. Finally Chapter 7 provides conclusions, addresses potential limitations, and also looks to the future. 001378253 650_0 $$aContinuous improvement process. 001378253 650_0 $$aSmall business. 001378253 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001378253 7001_ $$aSingh, Harwinder,$$eauthor. 001378253 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3319931202$$z9783319931203$$w(OCoLC)1034614436 001378253 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in operations management. 001378253 852__ $$bebk 001378253 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-93121-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001378253 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1378253$$pGLOBAL_SET 001378253 980__ $$aBIB 001378253 980__ $$aEBOOK 001378253 982__ $$aEbook 001378253 983__ $$aOnline 001378253 994__ $$a92$$bISE
