"The Plant and Maintenance Manager's Desk Book provides you with a full description of the management and operational needs of a plant, and turns to the vast experience of the author to provide an ideal structure with which to fulfill those responsibilities." "Mr. Weiss' strategy for this book is that plant management is much simpler and easier when the operations, systems, and tools of the facility are fully understood. Compliance, safety, unions, OSHA, facilities, materials handling, cost controls, ergonomic issues, and material controls are all topics that successful managers must know backwards and forwards. And they will after reading The Plant and Maintenance Manager's Desk Book. Mr. Weiss also places heavy emphasis on the need to be familiar with government regulations and the need for good communication between all individuals and departments."--Jacket
