By reconfiguring your traditional assembly lines into production
cells based on one-piece flow, you can drastically reduce your lead
time, staffing requirements, and number of defects. Kenichi Sekine
studied under the late Shigeo Shingo and is responsible for many
recent advances in the deployment of the Toyota Production System
in Japan. In this comprehensive book, Sekine provides an in-depth
education into the why's and how's of the restructuring process.
Sekine first examines the basic principles of process flow
building, then offers detailed case studies of how various
industries designed unique one-piece flow systems (parallel,
L-shaped, and U-shaped floor plans) to meet their particular needs.
One-Piece Flow describes each step in the process of establishing
one-piece flow and: (1) provides ample "test your skills"
worksheets that guide you through the solution of problems, and (2)
includes over 300 illustrations and 14 single-page case studies
that show how to cut assembly personnel in various industries.
With this book, plant managers will learn how to eliminate
overstaffing waste and build a multi-skilled work force equipped to
support JIT manufacturing.
The book includes:
Basic concept of one-piece productionCase studiesProcess razing
techniquesU-shaped cells for assembly linesTechniques for removing
waste from factoriesEstablishing one-piece flow at a factory that
