This engineering educational publication is a professional quality DVD video factory tour, covering Denso lean manufacturing system solutions, with kanban, kaizen, quality inspection, heijunka synchronization methods and actual industrial solutions in a Visual Factory Management & Control (VFM) framework. VFM is an integrated set of methods and technologies for the purpose of reducing waste at all levels, improving profitability, increasing lean production control, product & process quality, productivity, safety, on-demand / just-in-time (JIT) Kanban production / delivery, and employee morale in a factory, or virtually in any business. VFM and factory automation typically begins by following an integrated process, requirements, and risk analysis method, embedded into a statistical analysis and multimedia framework. As a result, the team will have a clear picture about what needs to be done, when, and how.
The next step is typically the implementation of a 'Five S', a 'Lean Six-Sigma', and a 'Monozukuri' program. (See more about these methods and technologies in Professor Ranky's Library.) Level: Process kanban, kaizen and quality inspection engineers and managers, Visual Factory Management (VFM) and Lead-time Reduction process engineers, lean factory design, automation and control engineers, industrial engineers, JIT software / IT developers, operations managers, team leaders, workforce productivity improvement managers, interested in eliminating unnecessary waste, lost time, and workers' compensation costs. Also ideal for undergraduate / graduate education and research learning about lean VFM, Kanban, quality inspection / assurance, waste reduction and dynamic JIT factory production control. |
