Visual management. From fundamental concepts to integrated planning and control in pull production and the supply chain, the text provides a complete introduction to Lean production.
Coverage includes small batch production, setup reduction, pull production, preventive maintenance, standard work, as well as synchronizing and scheduling Lean operations.
Detailing the key principles and practices of Lean production, the text also: Illustrates effective implementation techniques with case studies from a range of industries.
Includes questions and completed problems in each chapter. Explains how to effectively partner with suppliers and employees to achieve productivity goals Designed for students who have a basic foundation in production and operations management, the text provides a thorough understanding of the principles of Lean.
It also offers practical know-how for implementing a culture of continuous improvement on the shop floor and in the office, creating a heightened sense of responsibility in all stakeholders, and enhancing productivity and efficiency to improve the bottom line. Early observers of Japanese methods focused on the shop floor to see amazing things unlike anything practiced elsewhere.
And the thinking was, if the "methods" could be adopted by companies elsewhere, those companies would experience the success of the Japanese. The "management side" of Lean production is addressed in two new chapters, one devoted to daily management, the other to strategy deployment. Additionally, there is a new chapter that addresses breakthrough improvement and an approach to achieving it called Production Preparation Process.
Every chapter has been revised and expanded to better tell the story of Lean production—its history, applications, practices, and methods. The Portal to Lean Production: Principles and Practices for Doing More with Less describes the steps, difficulties, and rewards of implementing lean production.
The book moves beyond concepts to address practical matters. The authors provide enough information for you to begin implementing lean production within your organization. This book applies a model-the Portal to Lean Production-to illustrate principles and practices. The model reappears at the start of every chapter and serves to connect the concepts of each chapter with those in other chapters, and with basic lean production principles.
This volume contains short vignettes that appear in every chapter of actual lean production implementations. Following these real-world examples, the text provides expanded coverage of topics to enable you to learn and apply concepts and principles.
The authors enable you to see the context, application, and practical issues associated with lean production concepts and methods before learning details.
The vignettes, based upon the work experience of co-author Avi Soni, help connect the concepts and tie them to practical examples. Lean Production Simplified, Second Edition covers each of the components of lean within the context of the entire lean production system.
The author's straightforward common sense approach makes this book an easily accessible on-the-floor resource for every operator. Highlights include: A comprehensive view of Toyota1s lean.

From fundamental concepts to integrated planning and control in pull production and the supply chain, the text provides a complete introduction to Lean production. Coverage includes small batch production, setup reduction, pull production, preventive maintenance, standard work, as well as synchronizing and scheduling Lean operations.
Detailing the key principles. It fills the need for exposing how preventable harm is a systemwide problem and provides a step-by-step model to apply for raising process improvement to a strategic level.
The approach is ideal for team training purposes.

Following in the tradition of its Shingo Prize-winning predecessors, Lean Production Simplified, Third Edition gives a clear overview of the structure and tools of the Lean production system.
Written for the practitioner by a practitioner, it delivers a comprehensive insider's view of Lean management. The author helps readers grasp the system as a. The biggest competitive advantage an organization can achieve comes from the synergies created by employees skilled in enhancing organizational dynamics. It explains why a mix of the ski. Measures of Success shows business leaders how. Question is, are they helping people do the right things? Or, encouraging them to overreact to every uptick, downturn, and change?
In other words, reacting to noise. Noise is present in every metric. But, it's our reaction to noise that causes waste and stress. Too often, people don't recognize this.
Like feeling stuck on a rollercoaster you no longer enjoy. We do and explain things that don't help us improve. At the cost of doing things that do. No need to be jittery about every change in a metric. Not by a long shot. Measures of Success shows a better way to chart and manage your metrics, in any organization or setting. For your business processes and activities, you need to know what's working, what's not, and what to change.
And why. The names of the phases come from Japanese and all of them begin with the letter s. That is where the name 5S stems from.
This allows management to fine-tune the approach and adapt it to the specific workplace. Running a pilot project also permits a group of employees to learn what to do and how to do it. For example, suppose a factory has a centralized team for equipment maintenance, but separate workers for various processes.
The maintenance team will be involved everywhere. They might be overwhelmed by an initial factory-wide project, but do well in one area at a time. Also, once they learn from the pilot project, they will bring their new expertise to each new area. Cleanliness and order characterize significant issues both for customers and potential labour force. The starting point is that profitable and high quality tasks can be conducted only in a clean environment. The basic idea is to increase productivity, to improve the level of quality and to raise work ethic.
These factors are reached when the working environment is clean and in good order. It helps to find and eliminate problems in time. The 5S-model is special because it can be applied in to an office as well as in the production of a company.
Systematic and disciplined operations are developed also with the 5S-model. The 5S-system has several vital targets. The work station is an important area in the employees' daily life. It should be clean, in good order and safe. In addition to these, 5S gives the company tools to make it an efficient and comfortable place to work. There the staff members must feel easy to simplify the ongoing progresses.
The operation model should cause fewer accidents, rejection discards, waste running, stoppages and mistakes. Instead it creates comfort to the environment, better productivity and a good impression to the customers. With the growing business industry there is a large demand for greater speed and quality, for projects of all natures in both small and large businesses.
Lean Six Sigma is the result of the combination of the two best-known improvement methods: Six Sigma making work better, of higher quality and Lean making work faster, more efficient. Lean Six Sigma For Dummies outlines they key concepts in plain English, and shows you how to use the right tools, in the right place, and in the right way, not just in improvement and design projects, but also in your day-to-day activities.
