The one manual that every corporate executive should read again
and again re-released for the first time in an affordable paperback
version
Known as the JIT bible in Japan, this six-volume set present the
genius of Hiroyuki Hirano who leaves no detail to chance in
explaining how to implement and maintain a Just-in-Time
manufacturing program. Encyclopedic in scope, it provides
unparalleled information on every aspect of JIT, from its
philosophical underpinnings to the myriad systems, techniques, and
tools for virtually every factory setting
- Offers practical examples in support of lean implementation and
quality maintenance
- Provides JIT management forms that Hirano uses to implement
"JIT Awareness Revolutions"
- Contains answers to every problem a JIT professional will face
and multiple options for every stage of JIT implementation
"This book is a compendium of the experiences and knowledge I
have gained during many years of enthusiastic work in battling
waste in factories and promoting the development of JIT production.
As such, this is a manual for professional consultants. It enables
them to tell the plain truth and to overcome vexing problems. This
book is not for sale to the general public. I would not want it to
be sold that way. It is a book for manufacturing companies that are
fighting desperately for survival and that will go to any length to
improve their factories and overcome the obstacles to success. One
could even call this book a 'bible' for corporate survival."
