Description

It is easy to be informed the philosophy and the concepts of kaizen. It is slightly another challenge to translate the philosophy into action. At the same time as most books expound on the underlying principles and theory, Kaizen Assembly: Designing, Constructing, and Managing a Lean Assembly Line takes you step by step through an actual kaizen event. This approach demonstrates in detail the mindset, the processes, and the practical insight needed to turn out to be your current assembly line into a world-class lean operation.

Chris Ortiz brings the experience of over 150 successful kaizen events to the pages of this unique guide. The usage of clear, succinct, and unambiguous language moderately than more general and esoteric terms found in other books, he explains how to implement waste reduction, 5S, time and motion studies, line balancing, quality-at-the-source, visual management, and workstation and assembly line design. Taking a unique approach, the book follows an example of the assembly process for an electric bike including illustrations of nearly every step along the way. Ortiz even includes the most valuable teaching tool of all: past mistakes, how they were overcome, and how to identify and steer clear of them.

Providing expert guidance which will last long after the consultants have left, Kaizen Assembly supplies the tools you wish to have to make kaizen and lean assembly a permanent fixture at the heart of the shop floor.
