商品簡介
Louis explains how companies can design and implement a kanban system, including how to select appropriate techniques based on environmental factors. He provides an overview of the system, design categories, and components. Specific options for final product build strategy; lot size calculation; containers, triggering, and maintenance; receiving, inspection, shipping, and handling; operation in a manufacturing environment; and supply base integration are outlined. The book focuses on design options rather than basics, which are covered in an appendix. There is no bibliography. Louis designs and implements replenishment systems and lean manufacturing techniques and is credited with creating one of the first fully automating kanban systems in the US.
