One-Piece Flow: Cell Design for Transforming the Production Process

Rating:
Summary: Very good book on one piece flow and mfg. cell layout
Review: This book contains a great deal of very useful information on creating, or revising, manufacturing cells to reduce waste and improve productivity. The book contains a cogent explanation of the advantages of replacing batch processing with one piece flow processes. It is particularly good at describing how to improve production floor layouts to reduce the number of workers needed to manufacture products while introducing one piece flow. The information is there, but the text could be much clearer. A valuable addition to Shigeo Shingo's books on manufacturing.

Summary: One Piece Flow Cell Design
Review: This book does an excellent job of explaining how lean or Toyota Production System (TPS) cells are designed. It covers all of the principles and has many examples. If you are designing work cells or need to understand their design, this is a book you should read and keep handy.
