Industrial Engineering in Toyota - Japanese Pages

The success of Toyota in cost reduction, productivity improvement, and international competitiveness and its celebrated Toyota Production System, fulfilled the dream of Yoichi Ueno (that Japan can guide US in improved practices of efficiency improvement). The success of #Toyota and the World Class #TPS was  built on the sustained efforts many Japanese persons who understood Taylor and Gilbreth's writings and improvised them in implementing them in Japanese companies.

Intra Ocular Lens at $5 - Drive Down Cost Creatively

David Green has figured out how to make expensive medical products affordable to the world's poorest people. He helped found Aurolab, a nonprofit manufacturing company in India, to produce surgically implanted artificial lenses for cataract patients for US$4 - $6 apiece, a dramatic reduction in the average US$100 - $150 price for lenses,

How to Find Low Cost High Quality Alternatives for Value Engineering - Industrial Engineering?

Search intensively for low cost alternatives by:

Studying handbooks

Perusing trade literature

Contacting people who might have pertinent information

Focusing intense creativity sharply on the task to be accomplished

Refining the results obtained by the above methods

Unless this search for low cost alternative is effectively and penetratingly done, the real low cost solutions will not be identified by industrial engineers.

Handbooks only contain information on materials and processes and their uses. They will not contain cost information.

Cost information can be obtained by a combination of the following sources

The cost department and cost ledger, The financial accounting department and ledger
Cost analyses
Catalogues
Suppliers of products and materials
Special cost studies

Miles said 100 times more information than that which was presented in his book is necessary a high degree of value work.

LEAN Supply Chain Planning: The New Supply Chain Management Paradigm for Process Industries - 2013 - Book Information

LEAN Supply Chain Planning: The New Supply Chain Management Paradigm for Process Industries to Master Today's VUCA World

Josef Packowski
CRC Press, 26-Nov-2013 - Business & Economics - 493 pages


Delivering excellent service to all customers is the key imperative for many sustainable businesses. So why do so many supply chains struggle to fulfill customer requirements at competitive costs? The answer is simple: traditional supply chain planning, which was tailored to a predominantly stable and predictable business environment, cannot handle the new challenges in the world of variability, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity—the VUCA world.

Companies can either accept the drawbacks that often result in high inventories, poor asset utilization, and unsatisfactory customer service or, they can change their view of the fundamental approach to supply chain management. LEAN Supply Chain Planning: The New Supply Chain Management Paradigm for Process Industries to Master Today’s VUCA World introduces a new paradigm and a new approach to managing variability, uncertainty, and complexity in today’s planning processes and systems.

Introducing a cutting-edge supply chain management concept that addresses current problems in the process industry's supply chains, the book presents powerful methods developed by leading research institutes, process industry champions, and supply chain experts. It explains how readers can change their approach to the fundamental planning paradigms in a manner that will help their organizations achieve higher levels of responsiveness, improved levels of customer service, and substantial increases in cost-efficiencies.

This holistic practitioner’s guide describes how to establish the right accountabilities for performance management and also provides a set of meaningful metrics to help measure your progress. Supplying detailed guidelines for transforming your supply chain, it includes first-hand reports of leading organizations that have already adopted some of the facets of this paradigm and used the relevant instruments to achieve unprecedented improvements to customer service, supply chain agility, and overall equipment effectiveness.

Lean Distribution: Applying Lean Manufacturing to Distribution, Logistics, and Supply Chain - 2012 - Book Information

Lean Distribution: Applying Lean Manufacturing to Distribution, Logistics, and Supply Chain

Kirk D. Zylstra
John Wiley & Sons, 19-Jun-2012 - Business & Economics - 240 pages


"Kirk Zylstra's focus on the customer is a fresh approach to lean. Companies that can bear the burden of variability will develop a strategic advantage in today's volatile market."
—Travis Jarrell Institute of Industrial Engineers Program Committee Chair
"Lean Distribution is a comprehensive yet concise work with clear leanings. Kirk's experience across a range of industries brings a unique understanding of common opportunities and solutions available to optimize distribution processes. Lean techniques, typically effective in manufacturing processes, are applied in the downstream supply chain in a practical and productive manner that will offer something to any business distributing tangible goods."
—F. Jeff Duncan Jr. VP, CIO, and Director of Technology Louisiana Pacific Corp.

"Lean Distribution has robustly captured the revolution occurring in today's increasingly competitive and global supply chain. Eliminating losses through lean manufacturing and lean distribution initiatives will become even more critical enablers to organizations developing cost-advantaged supply chains."
—Rick McDonald Director of Manufacturing The Clorox Company

Lean Supply Chain Management Essentials: A Framework for Materials Managers - Bill Kerber, Brian J. Dreckshage - 2011 - Book Information

Lean Supply Chain Management Essentials: A Framework for Materials Managers

Bill Kerber, Brian J. Dreckshage
CRC Press, 27-Jun-2011 - Business & Economics - 274 pages


Presenting an alternate approach to supply chain management, Lean Supply Chain Management Essentials: A Framework for Materials Managers explains why the traditional materials planning environment, typically embodied by an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, is an ineffective support system for a company that wants to adopt Lean practices. It begins by defining supply chain management basics, including roles, objectives, and responsibilities from a traditional framework. Next, it describes Lean basics and explores the conflicts between Lean and the traditional framework.

The book focuses on the materials management aspects of Lean, such as leveling work into the value stream, heijunka scheduling, standard work, and the concept of intervals, including Every Part Every Interval (EPEI). By combining traditional materials management tools, such as Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP), with Lean manufacturing approaches and applying them to different manufacturing environments, the authors clarify the logic behind why you are doing what you’re doing with Lean components and how they fit together as a system. Specifically, they explain how to:

Determine which leveling strategy to use to smooth production
Calculate interval to determine lot sizes in various production environments
Apply Lean to purchasing, warehouse, and logistics areas
Use your value stream map for green initiatives and risk management
Replace capacity planning and shop floor control with visual factory, operator balance charts, EPEI, and plan for every part
Illustrating why balancing demand and capacity is better than trying to balance supply and demand, the book includes a definitive chart that matches Lean tools to the planning and control charts that have served as the model for ERP systems. It integrates the principles learned from Toyota’s fifty-plus-year journey with Lean principles to provide the up-to-date understanding required to approach the application of Lean to your supply chain with a methodology that allows for experimentation, learning, and continuous improvement.
