People Process : A Manufacturing Story

THE PEOPLE PROCESS: A MANUFACTURING STORY was developed to capture the culture, business philosophy & management strategy of Phillips Plastics Corporation; a 120 million dollar a year custom injection molding business that has achieved a return on equity average of 24.4% each year since its inception in 1964. The book focuses on the commitment & work ethic of the rural Wisconsin people who are credited for much of the company's success. For 30 years Phillips Plastics has followed practices untypical of the modern American manufacturing corporation: factories "without walls;" an open door to the chief executive officer's & president's offices; teamwork; nurturing; first-come, first-serve parking places; a twin emphasis on high technology & education for their people; the true belief in & practice of concurrent engineering. From its start-up operations in a converted cheese factory, to ten manufacturing facilities employing over 1500 people, the company has prospered by combining the latest technologies in the marketplace, with the belief that people working together achieve more. This book tells Phillips Plastics' story - a people-story about one of the largest & most successful custom injection molders in the United States.
