When implemented properly, the Kanban technique minimizes waste, avoids overproduction, and ensures quick response to changes and problems. Kanban Made Simple is the first simple ?how-to? guide for incorporating the just-in-time ingenuity of the Kanban system into any manufacturing environment. From the Japanese word for ?visual record,? the technique dictates that suppliers deliver parts to the warehouse only as they are needed, reducing storage in the production area. Using before-and-after case studies, this easy-to-follow guide contains information on establishing project goals, forming a Kanban team, and designing the process. Kanban Made Simple helps readers decide if Kanban is right for their organization, then teaches them how to train personnel and administer the program. A ready-to-use CD-ROM, included with the book, guides the Kanban team through the entire implementation process. 606 $aJust-in-time systems 606 $aProduction control 606 $aFactory management 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJust-in-time systems. 615 0$aProduction control. 615 0$aFactory management. 676 $a658.5 700 $aGross$b John M$0941175 701 $aMcInnis$b Kenneth R$0941176 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456199703321 996 $aKanban made simple$92122861 997 $aUNINA
