Lean Manufacturing: Implementation Strategies that Work : a Roadmap to Quick and Lasting Success
John W. Davis
Industrial Press Inc., 2009 - 178 pages
The goal of the book is to to help American manufacturing more effectively go about the task of making Lean a viable process.
The first section addresses the typical difficulties that manufacturing operations in the United States have with the implementation of Lean Manufacturing - pointing to three basic issues which if addressed and resolved, would serve to move the process forward in a much more rapid and effective manner.
The second section focuses on how to fully resolve the issues noted and details four levels of Lean Implementation and how they can be measured, in terms of progress.
The third section deals with the more advanced aspects of Lean Manufacturing, including such things as how to engage administrative and supporting functions in the process (Accounting, Materials, Sales and Marketing, etc.).
It is sure to be found useful by high level manufacturing executives and leadership at a factory level, as well as students in a Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering curriculum.
Provides readers with a clear path to inserting Lean in a manufacturing operation and a step by step approach to getting there.
Includes numerous charts, graphs and window diagrams associated with the "how to" - along with specific training, schedules.
Offers some unique insight into where Toyota placed a very important focus versus what is typically understood and/or accepted as the general path of implementation it took.
