Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 86 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Heijunka (Japanese for "production smoothing or leveling"): It is a technique used to smooth out production in all departments as well as that of the supplier over time in order to facilitate Just-In-Time (JIT) production. It means pro…duction levelling (finding and maintaining average production volumes). The fundamental goal of using the Heijunka technique is to supply goods at a steady rate so that upstream and downstream operations can likewise run at a steady and predictable rate, hence lowering the inventory. The heijunka technique works by leveling both the production volume and the product mix. It doesn't build products according to the actual flow of customer orders, which can swing up and down widely, but takes the total volume of orders in a period and levels them out so the same amount and mix are being made each day. Heijunka is a technique that helps reach the defined takt time and adds value to it.

Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 260 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | In today's fast-changing business world, companies succeed not only by having good strategies but by executing them efficiently. The real battle is fought inside processes - the invisible networks of activities, decisions, and… flows that determine whether customers receive quality, speed, and value.Process mapping is one of the simplest yet most powerful tools to uncover what really happens inside organizations. It is the "x-ray" that reveals hidden delays, wasted steps, and bottlenecks that erode performance. When done correctly, process maps transform vague complaints like "we're too slow" or "costs are too high" into concrete insights about where time, money, and effort are lost.From Toyota to TodayThe Toyota Production System (TPS) pioneered process mapping as a practical way to identify value and eliminate waste. At Toyota, mapping was not an academic exercise but a hands-on activity conducted by teams on the shop floor. The goal was to see with fresh eyes - to walk the process, record the facts, and make waste visible.Over the years, countless organizations worldwide have learned from Toyota's methods. Yet too often, process mapping is treated as a paperwork activity: nice diagrams posted on walls but not connected to real improvement. That misses the true spirit of the method. A map should drive change, not decorate PowerPoint slides.This book reclaims that original spirit - but updates it for today's challenges. We will not only revisit Toyota's practical lessons but also explore how modern digital tools and artificial intelligence can give process mapping new power.

Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 78 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Having no standardization work process means no quality. Everyone will do this task differently. Tracking the source of errors is difficult without the work standard. When a leader perform gemba walk on shop floor to observe the situat…ion, there is no benefit from the walk when there is no standard. In the classic old way of management, companies were and (many are still) following the Tylor's principle, Tylor said that industrial engineers should be the only ones who initiate, create, modify, adapt and improve the process. And workers should follow what the industrial engineers are saying. Standard work is being used to measure employees performance. This is really a contrary to respect for people which is one of the main pillars in the Toyota production system and was the reason why Toyota is a high performance company. Toyota is strong by its people not by its process. Toyota Creates standard work to eliminate wastes, develop employees skills and develop high level of knowledge.
