A Study of the Toyota Production System: From an Industrial Engineering Viewpoint
Shigeo Shingo, Andrew P. Dillon
CRC Press, 01-Oct-1989 - Business & Economics - 296 pages

It is a must reading for all industrial engineers.

This is the first book in English on JIT  written from the industrial engineer's viewpoint and explains how IE tools are used in Toyota Production System (TPS). When Omark Industries bought 500 copies and studied it companywide, Omark became the American pioneer in JIT.

Here is Dr. Shingo's classic industrial engineering rationale for the development of TPS.  He explains the basic mechanisms of the Toyota production system, examines production as a functional network of processes and operations, and then discusses the mechanism necessary to make JIT possible in any manufacturing plant.

Provides original source material on Just-ln-Time
Demonstrates new ways to think about profit, inventory, waste, and productivity
Explains the principles of leveling, standard work procedures, multi-machine handling, supplier relations, and others which are innovations of TPS based on IE.
