"Lean Manufacturing for Job Shops" is a complete package designed to get you well on your way to implementing the principles of Lean
Manufacturing in your job shop. Included in the package is the book "Lean Manufacturing for Job Shops"
(More Info), a CD about
"Value Network Mapping: Extending Value Stream Mapping to enable Lean Manufacturing
in Jobshop-type Custom Manufacturing Facilities
(More Info)", and a DVD on
"How a Jobshop Developed their In-House Training Video on Waste Elimination
(More Info)".
This package will teach you what a job shop is and why Lean in a job shop is different from the Toyota Production System, how to set up similar metrics to track and
compare shop performance on dissimilar jobs, how to use Little's Law in a non-steady-state job shop, and how to make use of the Theory Of Constraints in a shop where
the constraint work-center is constantly changing. The package will teach all these principles using a conventional business book format, and show examples of their
implementation using a story that takes place in a fictitious high-mix low-volume foundry and pattern shop.
