Pull Production for the Shopfloor book from Improvement Tools.com

Pull Production for the Shopfloor book

In a pull production system, the final process pulls needed parts from the previous process, which pulls from the process before it, and so on, as determined by customer demand. This allows the user to operate without preset schedules and avoid unnecessary costs, wastes and delays on the manufacturing floor.

Pull Production for the Shopfloor introduces production teams and managers to basic pull production concepts, enabling them to begin understanding, planning, and implementing this lean tool.

This book can be used to get everyone on board to reduce work in process inventory, lead-time and other profit-draining expenses.

This book will enable plant managers to explain and thereby, get support the support they need from higher management for their pull implementation efforts.

Pull Production for the Shopfloor book offers the following:

Key concepts and applications of pull production
