El objetivo del sistema de gestión Lean Company es maximizar el potencial de las personas y empresas. Para ello integra las mejores metodologías, herramientas y prácticas en un modelo integrador con el que, de manera muy sencilla y práctica, se incrementa el desarrollo de empresas e instituciones para hacerlas más eficientes y productivas, con resultados medibles. Este es un manual de ideas innovadoras acerca de la planificación de estrategias, de cómo se deben diseñar las estructuras organizacionales para mejorar la comunicación, la toma de decisiones y la manera de capacitar a cada persona para lograr su máximo potencial en el trabajo y, sobre todo, su satisfacción personal. El sistema Lean Company ofrece recursos prácticos para desarrollar acciones que permiten mantener y elevar el desempeño, y una metodología para desarrollar ciclos de aprendizaje y reaprendizaje, con los que los equipos logran la habilidad de mejorar continuamente en un ciclo sin fin. «He tenido la oportunidad de ayudar a desarrollar empresas de todos los tamaños. En este camino he descubierto que los problemas surgen, fundamentalmente, por la manera en que hemos sido educados, por el diseño de los procesos y sistemas y, sobre todo, por deficiencias en la comunicación entre las personas. Hay ambientes de trabajo hostiles, sin un diseño adecuado de los procesos clave ni un sistema que los integre. A causa de ello, el área de producción no entiende a la de finanzas; la de ventas tiene problemas con la de planificación; producción y calidad tienen conflictos continuos; mantenimiento no queda bien con nadie; contabilidad genera datos que no siempre se utilizan para tomar buenas decisiones, y algo mucho más importante: no todas las personas sienten satisfacción en su trabajo.» Luis Socconini

This book explains the implementation of just in time (JIT) production in an industrial context, while also highlighting the application of various, vital lean production tools. Shifting the trade-off between productivity and quality, the book discusses the preparation stages needed before implementing a JIT system. After an introduction to lean manufacturing and JIT, it introduces readers to the fundamentals and practice of Kaizen, paying special attention to lean manufacturing tools. The book demonstrates how to use the 5S approach (with the stages of Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu and Shitsuke), Standardized Work, Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) and the Kanban system. In brief, the book provides an understanding of the processes associated with the application of these tools and highlights the benefits attained by companies that have implemented JIT systems. Throughout the book, a real-world case study is used to deepen readers' understanding of how lean manufacturing tools can be implemented.The book is ideally suited for executive courses in industrial engineering and management, but can also be used for upper undergraduate and graduate courses at universities.

The paradigm of manufacturing is undergoing a major evolution throughout the world. The use of computers, the Internet and new challenges related to the Industry 4.0 have changed the way we engineer and manufacture products. Improving production with Lean Thinking is an evolution of a traditional approach in order to improve its processes to remain competitive in the global market. Lean Manufacturing is a multidimensional approach that embraces a wide variety of management practices in a unified system. These practices contain, quality systems, team work, and supplier management, among others. Nowadays, other practices have been adopted such as human factors and ergonomics. This book presents contributions of Lean Manufacturing applications in the world development and is intended to provide a comprehensive view of issues related to this area, with a specific focus on lean engineering principles; it is full of practical production examples of how Lean Thinking can be applied effectively to production systems. This work was conceptualized for an audience of graduate students mainly; however, it can also be consulted by engineers and company managers who seek state-of-the-art applications on Lean Manufacturing within a wide diversity of scenarios and conditions. The book, organized into 17 chapters, is intended to be an excellent source for dissemination of applied researches, lean concepts, and practices that have been successfully applied in the developing world domain. The book is also an excellent example of academy purpose with collaboration between different institutions from different countries that provide a global approach.
