Riassunto

2006 SHINGO PRIZE for EXCELLENCE in MANUFACTURING RESEARCH

Lean Production Simplified is a plain language guide to the lean production system written for the practitioner by a practitioner. It delivers a comprehensive "insider's" view of lean manufacturing. The author helps the reader to grasp the system as a whole and the factors that animate it by organizing the book around an image of a "house of lean production."

Highlights include:

• An comprehensive view of Toyota's lean manufacturing system
• A look at the origins and underlying principles of lean
• Identifying the goals of lean production
• Practical problem solving for lean production
• Activities that support involvement - Kaizen circles, suggestion systems, and problem solving

  Lean Production Simplified 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.
