Specializing in Quality Management Systems, Advanced Industrial Statistics, and Lean Manufacturing

Vision and Mission Statement

Henry Ford believed and proved that industry holds the solution to most of society's problems. Nothing has happened to change this; manufacturing, and only manufacturing, can create almost limitless wealth. Manufacturing is the foundation of the United States' affluence and national security, and our nation must preserve and expand its manufacturing base. Industrial methods can also reduce the cost of services while improving their quality, and this has critical implications for health care. It is the mission of Levinson Productivity Systems to help clients achieve this vision through lean manufacturing, statistical, and quality assurance methods.

New from Levinson Productivity Systems

July 13 2011: We are updating the site to a more modern and user-friendly appearance.

November 16 2010: Statistical Process Control for Real World Applications can be ordered from CRC Press/ Taylor and Francis

This is the first comprehensive treatment of non-normal distributions that often appear in real factories as opposed to the cooperative bell curves that populate most textbooks. Methods for handling them do NOT rely on normal approximations or even transformations. The book also addresses the effect of gage capability on process performance indices and outgoing quality, and provides an overview of multivariate methods.

February 2, 2010. We have read several articles that suggest that long periods of sedentary work (e.g. at a computer) increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. We therefore offer a free downloadable recurring alarm that the user can set as a reminder to stand, stretch, and/or walk around at user defined intervals. Freeware, no warranties are implied or expressed, but we use it every day.
