Explore how plants solve tough technical problems during big changes in production.

This study shows why simple fix‑it strategies often fail and what really helps a plant adapt when new technology arrives. It looks at real cases of how teams prepare, search for solutions, and work with outside experts to make transformative changes successful.

Focusing on the fine details of problem solving at the plant level, the book examines two types of work: how teams prepare for new tech, and how they search for and test solutions with vendors and specialists. It explains why coordination, data collection, and clear task definitions matter when complexity is high or when shifts are systemic.

Two modes of preparatory search that help cope with technical complexity and systemic shifts
How cross‑functional teams and external partners collaborate to tailor solutions on the factory floor
Examples of how vendors, operators, and engineers align to implement new production capabilities
Insights into when and why certain problem‑solving approaches succeed in manufacturing change

Ideal for readers seeking practical understanding of manufacturing change and organizational problem solving in technology adoption.
