This workbook explains in simple, step-by-step terms how to introduce and sustain lean flows of material and information in pacemaker cells and lines, a prerequisite for achieving a lean value stream.A sight we frequently encounter when touring plants is the relocation of processing steps from departments (process villages) to product-family work cells, but too often these "cells" produce only intermittent and erratic flow. Output gyrates from hour to hour and small piles of inventory accumulate between each operation so that few of the benefits of cellularization are actually being realized; and, if the cell is located upstream from the pacemaker process, none of the benefits may ever reach the customer.This sequel to Learning to See (which focused on plant level operations) provides simple step-by-step instructions for eliminating waste and creating continuous flow at the process level. This isn't a workbook you will read once then relegate to the bookshelf. It's an action guide for managers, engineers, and production associates that you will use to improve flow each and every day.Creating Continuous Flow takes you to the next level in work cell design where you'll achieve even greater cost and lead time savings. You'll learn: where to focus your continuous flow efforts, how to create much more efficient work cells and lines, how to operate a pacemaker process so that a lean value stream is possible, how to sustain the gains, and keep improving.Creating Continuous Flow is the next logical step after Learning to See. The value-stream mapping process defined the pacemaker process and the overall flow of products and information in the plant. The next step is to shift your focus from the plant to the process level by zeroing in on the pacemaker process, which sets the production rhythm for the plant or value stream, and apply the principles of continuous flow.Every production facility has at least one pacemaker process. The pacemaker processes is usually where products take their final form before going to external customers. It’s called the pacemaker because how you operate here determines both how well you can serve the customer and what the demand pattern is like for your upstream supplying processes.How the pacemaker process operates is critically important. A steady and consistently flowing pacemaker places steady and consistent demands on the rest of the value stream. The continuous flow processing that results allows companies to create leaner value streams.[Source : 4e de couv.]

Resilient supply chains are crucial to maintaining the consistent delivery of goods and services to the American people. The modern economy has made supply chains more interconnected than ever, while also expanding both their range and fragility. In the third quarter of 2017, Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria revealed some significant vulnerabilities in the national and regional supply chains of Texas, Florida, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. The broad impacts and quick succession of these three hurricanes also shed light on the effectiveness of the nation's disaster logistics efforts during response through recovery. Drawing on lessons learned during the 2017 hurricanes, this report explores future strategies to improve supply chain management in disaster situations. This report makes recommendations to strengthen the roles of continuity planning, partnerships between civic leaders with small businesses, and infrastructure investment to ensure that essential supply chains will remain operational in the next major disaster. Focusing on the supply chains food, fuel, water, pharmaceutical, and medical supplies, the recommendations of this report will assist the Federal Emergency Management Agency as well as state and local officials, private sector decision makers, civic leaders, and others who can help ensure that supply chains remain robust and resilient in the face of natural disasters.

Cash is King After the unprecedented financial crisis Lehman shock on September 15, 2008 and the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, WHO has announced the new coronavirus was equivalent to a pandemic (a global epidemic) on March 11, 2020. The era of VUCA (since the 2010s) VUCA is an acronym made from Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity, and represents the modern chaotic economic environment. In other words, it means "unpredictable state". In addition, global warming and environmental issues are the most important and urgent issues for ESG and SDSs. Under these circumstances, what is most needed is the ability to respond to change by making use of the wisdom from past failed experiences and successful experiences. In order to build a corporate structure that can respond to changes, it is necessary to manage the points of change with a narrower pitch than target management. To that end, it is an urgent task to align common operation cycles on a weekly basis, chain conventional management indicators (financial indicators and non-financial indicators), and carry out cockpit management with the idea of a balanced scorecard. This book explains CCC by comparing it with Japan, the US, and Europe using the latest 3 yeras (12 quarters) financial results figures (end of March 2020) that can be grasped at the time of publication. This is a must-have book for business owners as a guide to improving asset efficiency. Chapter 1 Now, why cash management is paying attention? (1) Profit is an opinion, Cash is a fact (2) Increasing surplus bankruptcy (3) Increasing Accounting Fraud Chapter 2 Management Accounting and Financial Accounting Chapter 3 CCC positioning and comparison between Japan and the United States (1) Key financial indicators (2) Positioning of CCC (3) CCC comparison between Japan and US (4) Sporting goods industry in US, Europe and Japan (5) Six major chemical companies in Japan (6) Electronic components Industry in Japan (7) Pharmaceutical Industry in Japan (8) International comparison by industry Chapter 4 Relationship between PSI management and CCC (1) The basic knowledge of PSI (2) What is PSI management? (3) Correlation between PSI and CCC (cashing speed) (4) Notes on PSI management Chapter 5 Measures to Improve CCC (1) The case of Nidec Motor (2) The case of Shionogi (3) The case of HP, Inventory driven costs (IDC) (4) Japanese companies pursuing Inventory freshness / time-axis management (5) Japanese companies pursuing weekly operation (6) Lehman shock (2008) through 2012 (after 311 Earthquake and Thai Flood) Chapter 6 Management Methods, Promotion Structure and Required Systems and its usage (1) Cash cycle and lead time (2) Stock out rate (3) Channel inventory turns (4) Inventory responsibility, Inventory Dollar Control and Unit Control (5) Inventory Diagnosis Clinic (6) Blind spots of accounts receivable management (7) Effective management methods (8) Effective system and its usage Chapter 7 Key issues in Japanese commercial practices and accounting system (1) Month-end closing and next month-end payment (2) Monthly accounting system

Risk management and contingency planning has really come to the fore since the first edition of this book was originally published. Computer failure, fire, fraud, robbery, accident, environmental damage, new regulations - business is constantly under threat. But how do you determine which are the most important dangers for your business? What can you do to lessen the chances of their happening - and minimize the impact if they do happen? In this comprehensive volume Kit Sadgrove shows how you can identify - and control - the relevant threats and ensure that your company will survive. He begins by asking 'What is risk?', 'How do we assess it?' and 'How can it be managed?' He goes on to examine in detail the key danger areas including finance, product quality, health and safety, security and the environment. With case studies, self-assessment exercises and checklists, each chapter looks systematically at what is involved and enables you to draw up action plans that could, for example, provide a defence in law or reduce your insurance premium. The new edition reflects the changes in the global environment, the new risks that have emerged and the effect of macroeconomic factors on business profitability and success. The author has also included a set of case studies to illustrate his ideas in practice.

A common characteristic of water demand in urban areas worldwide is its inexorable rise over many years; continued growth is projected over coming decades. The chief influencing factors are population growth and migration, together with changes in lifestyle, demographic structure and the possible effects of climate change (the detailed implications of climate change are not yet clear, and anyway will depend on global location, but must at least increase the uncertainty in security of supply). This is compounded by rapid development, creeping urbanization and, in some places, rising standards of living. Meeting this increasing demand from existing resources is self-evidently an uphill struggle, particularly in water stressed/scarce regions in the developed and developing world alike. There are typically two potential responses: either "supply-side" (meeting demand with new resources) or "demand-side" (managing consumptive demand itself to postpone or avoid the need to develop new resources). There is considerable pressure from the general public, regulatory agencies, and some governments to minimise the impacts of new supply projects (e.g. building new reservoirs or inter-regional transfer schemes), implying the emphasis should be shifted towards managing water demand by best utilising the water that is already available. Water Demand Management has been prepared by the academic, government and industry network WATERSAVE. The concept of the book is to assemble a comprehensive picture of demand management topics ranging from technical to social and legal aspects, through expert critical literature reviews. The depth and breadth of coverage is a unique contribution to the field and the book will be an invaluable information source for practitioners and researchers, including water utility engineers/planners, environmental regulators, equipment and service providers, and postgraduates. Contents Water consumption trends and demand forecasting techniques The technology, design and utility of rainwater catchment systems Understanding greywater treatment Water conservation products Water conservation and sewerage systems An introduction to life cycle and rebound effects in water systems Developing a strategy for managing losses in water distribution networks Demand management in developing countries Drivers and barriers for water conservation and reuse in the UK The economics of water demand management Legislation and regulation mandating and influencing the efficient use of water in England and Wales Consumer reactions to water conservation policy instruments Decision support tools for water demand management
