Lean Organization for Excellence
Lean Organization for Excellence describes the right way
to implement lean thinking inside both manufacturing and service
industries. After explaining the origins of the concept and
discussing 'wastes' and value added, the book aims to set out a
precise path of action. To this end, the so-called Hoshin Kanri
method of defining business objectives and targets is explained,
and a Value Stream Mapping tool that serves to identify all
wastes is described. Subsequent chapters cover each of the TPS
(Toyota Production System) tools, from 5S to SMED, and special
attention is devoted to the Ducati case study, in which tools
such as 5S and Kanban are applied. Lean metrics and the
innovative Value Stream Accounting are discussed, and the closing
chapter focuses on Lean Office for the service industry. Each
chapter includes illustrations and tables relating to practical
cases concerning the subject under consideration, based on real
consultancy experiences.
