About the Author
Shigeo Shingo was an influential figure in the improvement of productivity and his methods became an integral part of the Japan Management Association and the Toyota Motor Corporation. He was an industrial engineer who founded the Institute of Management Improvement. He gained recognition for developing the following concepts: Just In Time (JIT) or the Toyota Production System, Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED), and Zero Quality Control where the principle of Poka-Yoke (mistake-proofing) was created. He graduated from Yamanashi Technical College with a degree in mechanical engineering and worked as a business consultant and lecturer on productivity improvements for various companies throughout the world. In 1970 he was awarded The Yellow Ribbon Medal for Contributions to streamlining operations in the shipbuilding industry. In 1988, in honor of Shigeo Shingo, Utah State University founded the Shingo Prize for excellence in manufacturing which highlights company achievements. Shigeo Shingo's techniques have had a positive impact on companies who want to achieve better results.

The content of the book is amazing. Shigeo Shingo is truly a visionary. This book should be available to all those who want to implement a lean transformation so that you understand why Shingo-san developed the tools and guidelines that he did. Shigeo Shingo was the mastermind behind the Toyota Production System, constantly experimenting and thinking on how to improve. The result was an approach that significantly reduced required inventories (and their associated costs and losses) , improved quality, and reduced throughput time. This book will make you stop to think, scratch your head in disbelief, and then finally agree in amazement. I consider this book as 'the fundamentals'. The Industrial-engineering perspective starts here, and the western world can learn plenty from the methods laid out by Dr Shigeo Shingo in this stunningly well-presented text. Shingo, whose work at Toyota provided the foundation for JIT, teaches how to implement non-stock production in your JIT manufacturing operations.
