This is the "green book" that started it all -- the first book in English on JIT, written from the engineer`s viewpoint. 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 priority of process-based over operational improvements in manufacturing. 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-TimeDemonstrates new ways to think about profit, inventory, waste, and productivityExplains the principles of leveling, standard work procedures, multi-machine handling, supplier relations, and much more
If you are a serious student of manufacturing, you will benefit greatly from reading this primary resource on the powerful fundamentals of JIT. ISBN 9780915299171
