In Pursuit of Manufacturing Excellence
In Pursuit of Manufacturing Excellenceis a great American story of entrepreneurship. Terry Lutz, a man of unusually strong character and singular focus, with an abiding faith in his employees and a vision for American manufacturing, created a world-class manufacturing facility by instilling in his employees a strong belief in themselves and their ability to innovate and work on the 'bleeding edge' of technology. Signicast is a company in which 'Taking responsibility,' 'High expectations,' 'Continuous improvement,' 'Take risk to the edge,' 'Satisfy the customer,' and 'Good enough is not good enough' are principles to live and work by daily, not just words for employee meetings. --Benn DiPasquale, retired partner, Foley and Lardner Law FirmIn the fall of 1990, I was standing in the middle of a cornfield in Hartford listening to Terry's vision of the next Signicast. He created it just as he described. The word 'can't' is not in his vocabulary. --Bill Wurster, president, Sure Cast, Inc.Anyone interested in an insightful story about a company's path to success, and the no-nonsense man who led the effort, will make a wise investment of their time by reading Terry Lutz's book.In Pursuit of Manufacturing Excellencewould make a valuable case study for a wide range of business leaders, whether they are in the corner office or the classroom. --Michael G.
