The success of the Japanese automobile industry has been attributed to the concept of lean production, whereby competitive advantage is secured through combining industrial volume with skilled finishing. Against this background, European manufacturers have been combining resources to safeguard a key industry in the future economic development of Europe. This text brings together specialists from industry (both labour and management) and from the academic world to offer solutions to these challenges by way of practical improvement to vocational qualification schemes. It presents a united educat

When describing kanban implementation most information resources merely reference it without explaining it in technical terms or providing implementation details. Authors James Vatalaro and Robert Taylor address the need for kanban implementation guidance in Implementing a Mixed Model Kanban System: The Lean Replenishment Technique for Pull Production. Implementing a Mixed Model Kanban System is a comprehensive and in-depth guide to implementing a kanban within the value stream. Its plain-language approach provides step-by-step coverage and guidance of the implementation, metrics, and dynam

In the ideal production system, information flows from the customer backward through the manufacturing process and results in total elimination of non-value-adding wastes. That means no inventory, inspection, storage, or transportation. Shingo shows that a Non-Stock Production (NSP) system can become a reality for any manufacturer. Find out how, directly from the master himself.

Understanding Options for Agricultural Production is a synthesis of a global multidisciplinary network of scientists from around the world. This book describes the outputs of the IBSNAT network, including topics on data standards and the minimum data set, crop simulation models of major food crops, and application programs to assess risk resulting from implementation of different management options and strategies. These outputs were integrated into a single portable and functional software product referred to as DSSAT (Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer). Complete des

Cognitive psychologists have found the production systems class of computer simulation models to be one of the most direct ways to cast complex theories of human intelligence. There have been many scattered studies on production systems since they were first proposed as computational models of human problem-solving behavior by Allen Newell some twenty years ago, but this is the first book to focus exclusively on these important models of human cognition, collecting and giving many of the best examples of current research. In the first chapter, Robert Neches, Pat Langley, and David Klahr pro
