LEAN Production Training for Practice and Study 35 Exercises with Solutions

No production is perfect. Waste creeps into every process. It makes it slow and expensive. Goods lie around in the warehouse, production takes place in unnecessarily large batches or employees wait unproductively to produce the next part. The result is high production costs and disappointed customers.

Lean Production tackles this waste in all processes. But how do you actually implement the various Lean principles and methods? The success of Lean Production lies in doing, and this is precisely where the book comes in.

The 35 practical exercises show in detail how the Lean approaches can be applied and successfully implemented. The solutions are supplemented with practical tips for implementation from the authors' extensive experience. The exercises are implemented in the LeanClean Inc. with many pictures and diagrams - concrete, simple and comprehensively explained.

Simple and practice-orientated presentation and description Practising and doing lean is the key to success in lean transformation Creating a comprehensive understanding of lean production
