<p><b>ANTHONY TARANTINO, PhD,</b> is a Master Black Belt in Lean Six Sigma and has lead over 30 continuous improvement projects for Cisco Systems, IBM, Oracle, and KPMG Consulting spanning a twenty-year period. He has been an adjunct faculty member at Santa Clara University for over a decade. For the first 25 years of his career he worked in the manufacturing industry as a supply chain manager earning certifications in purchasing from ISM and in production and inventory management from APICS. This is his fifth book for Wiley and Sons. </p>

<p>“It is a rare book that fully and effectively combines production management concepts and practices. This book can be very effective in helping to realize smart manufacturing in the factory to lower cost, improve customer satisfaction, and improve employee morale.”<BR><b> —Jianfeng Du,</b> Founder and CEO, MPMC Powertech Corp., China’s Leading Hybrid Energy and Battery Storage Solution Innovator </p> <p>“The author covers all of the building blocks that will be at the core of the smart technologies wave that unfolds in the next few years. The book is a great reference to have and I strongly encourage you to read it!”<BR><b> —Najib Khouri-Haddad,</b> General Partner, Sway Ventures <p>“Dr. Tarantino’s newest tome, <i>Smart Manufacturing: The Lean Six Sigma Way</i>, is a tour de force and comprehensive work that will appeal to both readers who are new to the field as well as accomplished experts. In addition to providing fresh perspectives on the latest smart manufacturing approaches, he and his chapter co-authors also expand on several of the most pressing challenges and important issues facing the United States and the global manufacturing economy, including supply chain resiliency, cybersecurity, big data, as well as the rapid adoption of game-changing technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and edge computing. This encompassing volume is highly recommended reading for anyone interested in understanding the state-of-the-art in the rapidly evolving advanced and smart manufacturing landscape.<BR><b> —Daniel Kirk, Ph.D.,</b> Interim Dean of Engineering, Florida Institute of Technology <p>“<i>Smart Manufacturing: The Lean Six Sigma Way</i> is a comprehensive and accessible overview of the technologies that are transforming industry. Relevant to both students and practitioners, the book places smart manufacturing in its historical context while clearly bringing across the powerful disruptive potential of Industry 4.0. Anthony Tarantino’s book provides insight into this emerging paradigm that will be of huge benefit to the reader.”<BR><b> —Harry Malins,</b> Chief Innovation Officer, UK’s Aerospace Technology Institute <p>“Industry 4.0 is underway. Data analytics, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, collaborative robots, additive manufacturing, and other technologies are already helping manufacturers increase efficiency, reduce downtime, lower prices, and improve service, delivery, and quality. Industry 4.0 will inevitably lead to new types of work and new ways of working. It will require changes to company structures and relationships between companies. Businesses must understand what they want to achieve and then develop an implementation strategy. This book will help you get there.<BR><b> —John Sprovieri,</b> chief editor, ASSEMBLY magazine <p>“A wonderful book to introduce undergraduate students to a career in operations or manufacturing, a long-overlooked field. The book is easy to read and will allow students to understand the challenges facing those implementing industry 4.0. Particularly enlightening in describing how smart manufacturing will open up opportunities for women who choose a STEM field for a career.”<BR><b> —Deborah Cernauskas, Ph.D.,</b> Professor of Business Analytics and Finance, Chair Undergraduate Business (ret), Benedictine University
