JIT IS FLOW - Practice and Principles of Lean Manufacturing by Hiroyuki Hirano and Makoto Furuya

 

“Their explanations are both simple and profound, the mark of deep experience. Readers new to the system will easily grasp the basic ideas, while those that have worked with it a long time will spot insights that had not occurred to them before. Like Alice in Wonderland, readers are apt to learn from it according to the experience they bring to the reading – and perhaps see something new each time they re-thumb it. That makes JIT IS FLOW a book to keep on the shelf.  From a foreword written by Robert “Doc” Hall, editor of AME’s Target magazine.

 

“JIT truly is flow—and flow is best medicine in a disruptive ultra-competitive world. This book covers all the bases in telling how.  And don’t miss the insightful 24-page interview at the end. I think the trailing interview with Erik Hager is great.” Richard J. Schonberger, author of Japanese Manufacturing Techniques: Nine Hidden Lessons in Simplicity, The World Class Manufacturing: The Lessons of Simplicity Applied and World Class Manufacturing: The Next Decade
