WCOM (World Class Operations Management)
This book deals with World Class Operations Management (WCOM), detailing its principles, methods and organisation, and the results that this approach can bring about. Utilising real-world case studies illustrated by companies that have adopted this model (interviews with Saint-Gobain, L’Oréal, Tetra Pak, Bemis, and Bel Executives), it describes common patterns drawn from decades of hands-on experience, so as to present a theoretical approach together with the concrete application of its principles. WCOM, adopted by several multinational companies, is one of the more innovative management practises, as it integrates the best Continuous Improvement approaches (Lean, Total Productive Managem...
Inedita
Prendete dodici luoghi straordinari – castelli, ville storiche – di cui il territorio bresciano e bergamasco è pieno, che in qualunque altro Paese sarebbero la meta di decine di migliaia di turisti ma che, trovandosi ahimé in Italia, ossia nel Paese che conta il 30% del patrimonio culturale del pianeta, restano vittime di una marginalità che non meritano. Poi prendete cinque scrittori tra i più importanti d'Italia, e chiedete loro di indicare dodici giovani scrittori di sicuro talento disposti a sfidare il pubblico scrivendo testi che abbiano a che fare con quei luoghi. Prendete infine dodici attrici e attori tra le voci più prestigiose del panorama nazionale, portateli in quei luoghi e consegnate loro i testi scritti per l'occasione, affinché li leggano davanti a un pubblico. Inedita è nata così. Ed è una novità, qualcosa che non era mai venuto in mente a nessuno.

Governing Prisons
Challenging the accepted notions about prisons, Dilulio argues that, far from being traps for society's refuse, they must and can be made safely humane. He shows that the key to better prisons is a highly disciplined constitutional government employing prison managers who are strong enough to control the inmates yet obliged to control themselves. The book illustrates how the use of such a governing system can provide order, encourage civilized behaviour, and enforce punishment that is just, as well as merciful.
The Roots of Lean
The Roots of Lean gives a description and history of Training Within Industry (TWI) and its direct impact on the Toyota Production System and the Lean Business Model.
