A handsome, very nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing a single unobtrusive imperfection. Bright and clean. Corners sharp. Virtually "As New". NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo (8.5 x 5.35 x 0.5 inches) . Foreword by Norman Bodek. Language: English. Weight: 29.9 ounces. Hardcover: Pictorial Laminate Boards. 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. The culmination of his extensive writings on efficient production management and continuous improvement, this book is an essential companion volume to his other landmark books on key elements of JIT, including SMED and poka-yoke. It includes: 1. Fundamental flaws in European and American production philosophies. 2. Basic concepts for improving production systems. 3. The "scientific thinking mechanism" -- a new approach to improvement. Implementing a production method in an age of authorized stock production. 4. Development of production functions in the age of non-stock production. 5. Significance of the different production systems. ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; xvii, 454 pages.…
