Just-in-Time for Operators book from Improvement Tools.com



Just-in-Time for Operators book

The Just-in-Time for Operators book by Productivity Development Team is available from Improvement Tools.com .

If a just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing programme has to be implemented but some help is needed to orient employees to the power of JIT, then this book can be of help.

The Just-in-Time for Operators book is a concise and practical guide to introduce equipment operators, assembly workers and other frontline employees to the basic concepts, techniques and benefits of JIT practices.

Like all the Shopfloor Series books, Just-in-Time for Operators presents concepts and tools in simple and accessible language.

The book includes ample illustrations and examples to explain basic JIT concepts and some of the changes people may encounter in a JIT implementation.

Key definitions

  • Elimination of process waste
  • Levelled production, kanban, and standard work
  • U-shaped cells and automation
  • JIT support techniques

The JIT approach is simple and universal, and has worked well in several companies all over the world. Educating employees ensures their full participation and allows them to share their experiences and ideas more effectively.
