DESCRIPTION:
PD said A Primer on the elements of JIT. This is an excellent work on JIT. Though the book was published in 1988 much of the content was very informative and insightful. Really enjoyed the book too.
With its proven capacity to streamline the manufacturing process, lower inventory, and improve product quality and ROI, JIT may be the basis for a renaissance in American manufacturing. Just-in-time production (JIT) is receiving widespread recognition among U.S. This book details exactly what JIT is, how to implement it, and how to make it work in the context of American business and culture. Relying on examples of companies that have implemented JIT--including cutting-edge firms such as Hewlett-Packard--The Just-in-Time Breakthrough clears up several misconceptions about the process while providing managers with models for putting it into action.. executives as the manufacturing system that helped make Japan our major competitor. In clear, practical terms, it discusses how to assess opportunities for change with JIT, how to develop and plan the necessary changes in production and management, and ways of motivating middle management and other employees in a JIT system
Gene R. This volume is a primer in that technique written by a specialist at Rath & Strong (Lexington, Mass.). This section evokes some of the efficiency-oriented arguments of Kiyoshi Suzaki's technically competent but disappointing The New Manufacturing Challenge ( LJ 9/15/87). Recommended for production specialists. What makes Hay's volume special is its emphasis on employee involvement and instilling company-wide dedication to quality. From Library Journal "Just in Time" (JIT) is a Japanese-perfected manufacturing philosophy that can be successfully borrowed by North American organizations. Laczni
