Download or read book The Lean Engineering Travel Guide written by Cécile Roche and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-10-12 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lean is an essential way of working in a world that is accelerating and becoming more complex. It revalues the human dimension in the company by encouraging individual thinking and initiative and gives meaning to teams that are more and more challenged by competitiveness and innovation. This book is designed as a travel guide. The first part includes all the traditional sections from the ‘front end’ of a travel guide, including some basic vocabulary, tips, and a historical section about some of the pioneers of Lean in Engineering. The journey begins in the second part, which explains a number of Lean Engineering practices in some detail and the best itineraries to develop better products, discussing the underlying intentions and offering advice for implementation. Numerous concrete cases illustrate this part with case material drawn from the authors’ own experiences. Part Three is a brief guide to where and how to get started. Currently, there are no books on Lean Engineering written by practising engineers who have themselves experienced the adjustment of Lean principles to the business and challenges of new product development. The authors describe tools and practices that have already been widely tested and improved by many engineers with different cultures and skills in the Thales Group and other companies. Lean Engineering as we describe it has thus been able to demonstrate its effectiveness for several years. In addition, the authors describe new unique practices invented within the framework of their activities and which thus do not exist anywhere else (e.g., causal influence diagram (CID), Pull-Scheduling Board).

Download or read book Lean Thinking written by James P. Womack and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lean Thinking was launched in the fall of 1996, just in time for the recession of 1997. It told the story of how American, European, and Japanese firms applied a simple set of principles called 'lean thinking' to survive the recession of 1991 and grow steadily in sales and profits through 1996. Even though the recession of 1997 never happened, companies were starving for information on how to make themselves leaner and more efficient. Now we are dealing with the recession of 2001 and the financial meltdown of 2002. So what happened to the exemplar firms profiled in Lean Thinking? In the new fully revised edition of this bestselling book those pioneering lean thinkers are brought up to date. Authors James Womack and Daniel Jones offer new guidelines for lean thinking firms and bring their groundbreaking practices to a brand new generation of companies that are looking to stay one step ahead of the competition.

Do you want to focus on producing only the best results at every phase of the production line?

If you’ve answered yes to all of these questions, then this book may have what you need to fulfill all of your business goals.

When you’re too focused on sales and numbers, you won’t be able to create the kind of product that earns your customers’ lifetime loyalty. It will keep you from seeing that the seemingly effective workflows that you’ve always used are largely wasteful and inefficient. Fortunately, going lean can help you change all of that. Lean is a customer-centric approach that aims to meet customer demands exactly at their moment of need. While it may sound altruistic on the surface, putting a higher regard on the customer ultimately means better income for your business. By making them your top priority, your company wouldn’t end up being a one-hit wonder that never truly understood what the market needs in the first place. Here are a few things that you can get from this book: How lean thinking transforms businesses How to identify wastes in your current workflow How shifting to lean can be worth it Proven methodologies for going lean And much more Now, you may be wondering whether lean is actually better than your current system. After all, when things are going well enough in your business, why is there a need for change? Thing is, even if things are going perfectly, there will always be that one thing that you can improve on. A simple assessment of your workflow can be all it takes to make your entire system a lot more efficient. Just imagine how much more you can do when you have it all figured out. If you think that everything is already fine as it is, lean will make you realize that the future can always be better than yesterday. The changes that you need to implement are all in your hands.
