Joseph D. Gray is a contract industrial engineer doing business over 30 years for 50 plus corporations involving 200 productivity projects. He has in-depth experience analyzing an entire facility to develop a cost reduction master plan prior to implementation or performing productivity projects within the fields of direct labor controls, materials handling mechanization and product automation.
This is Mr. Gray's first book. He hopes this extensive documented experience will serve as an invaluable tool for every plant manager, general foreman and production supervisor seeking to decrease unit cost or increase output as well as the industrial engineering student.
