Case studies of JIT in Japan. A radical view.

This is a translated book from Japanese. It is valuable for the ideas imparted, but is not particularly easy to read or easy to understand.It profiles a consulting group, in Japan a group of non-competing industries sharing general business know-how. The focus is on true JIT. Make only what is ordered. Make to order. Improve systems so that manufacturing cycle is shorter than the order cycle.A scathing criticism of massive warehousing systems is a core of the book.Any MANUFACTURER who thinks they need more and better warehouse space for finished goods should first look at some of the ideas here.For more general ideas in related subjects look at writings from the late Shingo and late Ohno, both engineers at Toyota.John A.
