Résumé : |
Lean Production Simplified, Third Edition gives an overview of the structure and tools of the Lean production system. Written for the practitioner by a practitioner, it delivers an insider's view of Lean management.
The author helps readers grasp the system as a whole, as well as the factors that animate it, by organizing the book around an image of a house of Lean production. Illustrating the eight kinds of waste, this updated edition: - Describes the craft and mass production systems that preceded Lean production―including the contributions of Frederick Winslow Taylor and Henry Ford; - Explains the concepts of visual management, Five S, and Total Productive Maintenance; - Addresses just-in-time delivery of parts and products; - Examines the jidoka principle; - Covers the nervous system of Lean management, hoshin planning; - Illustrates the culture of Lean management.
This edition features case studies on Lean outside the factory―in settings such as health care, IT, finance, design, engineering, and beyond. The case studies are based on personal experience of actual work in organizations generating real results. |
