Humanist Manufacturing Overview
The Humanist Manufacturing Mission
“This book (Humanist Manufacturing: A Humanitarian Approach to Excellence in High-Impact Plant Operations) is a comprehensive approach to leading with the heart in a world full of hard nosed decision making. It ties together the many parts of modern management theory with the oft overlooked special circumstances of leadership in todays pressure cooker manufacturing
environment. It is designed to be a helpmate, not a read through once and forget it book. With questions for reflection and additional readings relevant to each chapter it is designed to be on your desk as opposed to on your shelf. It is full of actionable ideas that can be applied both every day and during times of strategic thinking and planning. A great book from which any leader can learn!”

An additional opportunity is to join the Humanist Manufacturing Community. The intent of developing this community is to create a shared space where the members can continue to evolve their understanding and application of the various elements of the humanist manufacturing framework. The expectation is that the members provide insight and suggestions to one another to provide a continual learning opportunity. Additionally, it is to be a safe space where members struggling with an issue can receive recommendations and support. Finally, those experiencing success can post their achievements for the benefit of the community.
