“So Your Plant Sucks! What Are You Going to Do About It?” began when a plant leadership team, in the middle of a turn-around and trying to maintain a sense of humor, realized there was no book to guide them through their trials. What if there was a book that could cut through the bullshit to help struggling plants fix their problems and enhance profits? Through interviews with leaders who have turned around plants, and easy-to-implement tools, the author provides a roadmap to take your struggling plant from sucktitude to success. Even if your plant is running well, SUPS is a candid reminder of what you should be doing to maintain success.

About Casey Williams (Indianapolis, Indiana Author)

Casey Williams

Casey Williams is an Indianapolis-based writer, best known as an automotive correspondent for the Indianapolis Star, WFYI (NPR/PBS – Indianapolis, IN), Chicago Tribune's Sunday Auto Page, and gaywheels.com. His work appeared in the L.A. Times, Orlando Sentinel, Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette, Dallas Voice, New York-based Metrosource Magazine, and Toronto’s IN Magazine. He lives with his husband and daughter in the Broad Ripple area of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Casey's books are as diverse as his 2019 “So Your Plant Sucks! What Are You Going to Do About It?”, a no-nonsense template for fixing struggling production plants, and “The Adoption of Little Miss Fancy Pants”, an insightful recount of adopting his daughter that was published in 2017. Casey published his first children’s book, “The Cat Who Lost His Meow”, in 2019. Inspired by his daughter Amelia, he's publishing nine children’s readers with Waldorf Publishing in 2020/2021. Subjects focus on traveling to Paris, taking care of a pet hamster, learning about cars, surfing, and practicing how to fart properly – all topics kids will find amusing and encourage them to read. His final reader will focus on a real-life trans boy, written in a personal age-appropriate manner.

Casey’s love of process improvement and manufacturing comes naturally; his father and grandfather both retired as hourly workers from General Motors. He earned a B.S. in Business/Marketing from GMI Engineering and Management Institute (formerly General Motors Institute, now Kettering University) and an MBA from University of Memphis. He’s been a continuous improvement specialist for nearly 20 years, employed by Lennox Industries, Avery Dennison, and Praxair Surface Technologies. He’s a certified Six Sigma Blackbelt.
