Nadie duda de que el triunfo de los gestores e ingenieros trabajando en el área de producción se basa, en parte, en el entendimiento y aplicación de las técnicas lean manufacturing. El pensamiento lean (lean thinking) se basa en la búsqueda y eliminación sistemática del despilfarro en cualquier tipo de empresa. La filosofía lean manufacturing (traducida como producción ajustada) se define como un conjunto de herramientas de mejora, basadas en la participación de todo el personal de la empresa, que favorece la asimilación del pensamiento lean. Esta obra recoge metodologías y herramientas destinadas a mejorar el flujo de materiales, la eficiencia de un equipo industrial y el entorno de trabajo. En cada capítulo se presenta la herramienta de mejora, la forma de implantarla, el efecto que tiene en la empresa y un conjunto de problemas numéricos que ayudan a asimilar los conceptos presentados, lo que permite asimilar las técnicas de forma amena y práctica. En esta segunda edición se ha tratado de mejorar y aclarar algunos conceptos, como la diferencia entre takt time y tiempo de ciclo, y se ha complementado el contenido teórico con nuevas propuestas, como el equilibrado en U con tareas automáticas o el análisis económico de las propuestas de mejora de métodos. Además, se han incluido nuevos problemas (casi cuarenta nuevas propuestas) y se ha reformado el apartado de soluciones, ofreciendo información más detallada e incluso el layout y los diagramas de Gantt de los problemas de equilibrado de líneas. Mejorando la producción con lean thinking es la traducción al castellano, llevada a cabo por los propios autores, del libro Improving Production with Lean Thinking, publicado en Estados Unidos y traducido por profesores de universidad y consultores de empresa a otros idiomas como el tailandés y el portugués.

Unique coverage of manufacturing management techniques--complete with cases and real-world examples. Improving Production with Lean Thinking picks up where other references on production processes leave off. It is increasingly important to integrate and systematize lean thinking throughout production/manufacturing and the supply chain because the market is becoming more competitive, products are becoming more complex, and product life is getting shorter and shorter. With a practical focus, this book encompasses the science and analytical background for improving manufacturing, control, and design. It covers specific methodologies and tools for: * Material flow and facilities layout, including a six step layout design process * The design of cellular layouts * Analyzing and improving equipment efficiency, including Poka-Yoke, motion study, maintenance, SMED, and more * Environmental improvements, including 5S implementation With real-life case studies of successful European and American approaches to lean manufacturing, this reference is ideal for engineers, managers, and researchers in manufacturing and production facilities as well as students. It bridges the gap between production/manufacturing and supply chain techniques and provides a detailed roadmap to improved factory performance.

Exploring Lean manufacturing in a holistic manner, this book helps organizations to implement Lean principles successfully by offering theoretical, empirical and practical knowledge. It empirically demonstrates how a successful Lean initiative can improve organizational efficiency, and incorporates valuable primary research to substantiate findings. It argues that Lean principles need to be applied throughout the value chain in order to be successful , and suggests that these tools need to be aligned with culture and change management. Chapters examine issues including Lean cultures, impediments to Lean, Lean and performance measurement, and the impact of Lean. Viewing Lean as a never-ending journey, this book provides a valuable resource to practising Lean managers, and specialist researchers and students, and also offers an important reference for organizations embarking on their Lean voyage.

A massive disconnect exists today between consumers and providers. As consumers, we have a greater selection of higher quality goods and services to choose from, yet our experience of obtaining and using these items is more frustrating than ever. At the same time, companies find themselves with declining customer loyalty, greater challenges in fulfilling orders, and a general sense of dissatisfaction in connecting with their customers. In LEAN SOLUTIONS, lean production experts Womack and Jones show consumers and companies alike how they can align their goals to achieve greater value with less waste.

Manufacturing and operations management paradigms are evolving toward more open and resilient spaces where innovation is driven not only by ever-changing customer needs but also by agile and fast-reacting networked structures. Flexibility, adaptability and responsiveness are properties that the next generation of systems must have in order to successfully support such new emerging trends. Customers are being attracted to be involved in Co-innovation Networks, as - proved responsiveness and agility is expected from industry ecosystems. Renewed production systems needs to be modeled, engineered and deployed in order to achieve cost-effective solutions. BASYS conferences have been developed and organized as a forum in which to share visions and research findings for innovative sustainable and knowledge-based products-services and manufacturing models. Thus, the focus of BASYS is to discuss how human actors, emergent technologies and even organizations are integrated in order to redefine the way in which the val- creation process must be conceived and realized. BASYS 2010, which was held in Valencia, Spain, proposed new approaches in automation where synergies between people, systems and organizations need to be fully exploited in order to create high added-value products and services. This book contains the selection of the papers which were accepted for presentation at the BASYS 2010 conference, covering consolidated and emerging topics of the conference scope.
