Lean Manufacturing

<p>There are some very good books available that explain the Lean Manufacturing theory and touch on implementing its techniques. However you cannot learn how to be lean from merely reading the theory. And to be successful in the real-work environment you need a clear comprehension of how lean techniques work rather than just a remote understanding of what they are. You need to know what does and does not work in different situations. And you need the benefit of practical experience in their implementation.<br><br>Lean Manufacturing: Tools Techniques and How to Use Them gives you the benefit of author and practitioner William Feld's 15 years of hands-on experience - and the lessons he's learned. Feld provides insight into the appropriate use of assessment analysis design and most importantly deployment of a successful lean manufacturing program. Packed with practical advice and tips but not bogged down in theory this book covers how why when and what to do while implementing lean manufacturing. It equips you with the tools and techniques you need along with an understanding of how and why they work. <br><br>Feld explores why an integrated approach is so much more beneficial in securing sustained improvement. He focuses on the interdependency of the Five Primary Elements: organization metrics logistics manufacturing flow and process control. He describes a proven applied approach to creating a lean program using these elements. <br><br>To keep up globally and even locally your manufacturing operation must be responsive flexible predictable and consistent. You must continually improve manufacturing operations and cultivate a self directed work force driven by output based customer performance criteria. By applying what you learn from Lean Manufacturing: Tools Techniques and How to Use Them you can build a workforce - and an organization - with the capacity to satisfy world class expectations now and into the future.</p>
