In the 1950's, the design and implementation of the Toyota
Production System (TPS) within Toyota had begun. In the 1960's,
Group Technology (GT) and Cellular Manufacturing (CM) were used by
Serck Audco Valves, a high-mix low-volume (HMLV) manufacturer in
the United Kingdom, to guide enterprise-wide transformation. In
1996, the publication of the book Lean Thinking introduced the
entire world to Lean. Job Shop Lean integrates Lean with GT and CM
by using the five Principles of Lean to guide its implementation:
(1) identify value, (2) map the value stream, (3) create flow, (4)
establish pull, and (5) seek perfection. Unfortunately, the tools
typically used to implement the Principles of Lean are incapable of
solving the three Industrial Engineering problems that HMLV
manufacturers face when implementing Lean: (1) finding the product
families in a product mix with hundreds of different products, (2)
designing a flexible factory layout that "fits" hundreds of
different product routings, and (3) scheduling a multi-product
multi-machine production system subject to finite capacity
constraints. Based on the Author's 20+ years of learning, teaching,
researching, and implementing Job Shop Lean since 1999, this book
Describes the concepts, tools, software, implementation
methodology, and barriers to successful implementation of Lean in
HMLV production systems Utilizes Production Flow Analysis instead
of Value Stream Mapping to eliminate waste in different levels of
any HMLV manufacturing enterprise Solves the three Industrial
Engineering problems that were mentioned earlier using software
like PFAST (Production Flow Analysis and Simplification Toolkit),
Sgetti and Schedlyzer Explains how the one-at-a-time implementation
of manufacturing cells constitutes a long-term strategy for
Continuous Improvement Explains how product families and
manufacturing cells are the basis for implementing flexible
automation, machine monitoring, virtual cells, Manufacturing
Execution Systems, and other elements of Industry 4.0 Teaches a new
method, Value Network Mapping, to visualize large multi-product
multi-machine production systems whose Value Streams share many
processes Includes real success stories of Job Shop Lean
implementation in a variety of production systems such as a forge
shop, a machine shop, a fabrication facility and a shipping
department Encourages any HMLV manufacturer planning to implement
Job Shop Lean to leverage the co-curricular and extracurricular
programs of an Industrial Engineering department
