"Job Shop Lean integrates techniques from the Toyota Production System (TPS) that apply to high-mix low-volume with the science of Group Technology and Cellular Manufacturing (GT/CM) to replace those parts of the TPS that pertain solely to high-volume, repeatable processes. GT/CM is the technical solution to Lean for high-mix low-volume. Toyota provides the tools to sustain GT/CM, especially the workforce culture and Lean leadership aspects. This informative book: Tackles a subject about which there is no effective book on the market that covers all the important aspects (e.g., concepts, tools, software, real success stories, etc.). Teaches a method/approach (Group Technology and Cellular Manufacturing) that Toyota did not pioneer but was proven to work simultaneously that Ohno (and Toyota) were pioneering the Toyota Production System. Shows how computer-aided problem-solving and IT-aided implementation of the Lean tools actually works in practice. Covers advanced topics such as scheduling, IT-aided problem solving, and flexible automation"--

This volume by Professor Edward K. Strong, Jr., and Mr. Richard S. Uhrbrock makes one central and paramount contribution. It presents a successful method for an objective determination of the content of a technological and vocational curriculum. That this is a contribution of real significance will be doubted by few who in recent years have had to do with the vexing problem of the organization of such curricula. The present volume constitutes the first number of the Personnel Research Series, which has been created to facilitate the publication of the work of members of Personnel Research Federation, and of others contributing to the study of personnel problems. As such it is a pleasure to call attention to some of its special characteristics; the fact that it advances definite information in one field of personnel activity, the fact that it illustrates the development of a method and extends its use, the fact that it presents its procedure, methods and conclusions through the medium of a straight-forward and readable exposition, the fact that it will be welcomed with interest not only by the technicians in personnel research but by an important industrial group as well, and the fact that it is the result of a cooperative effort on the part of an academic and an industrial group. These are features which it is hoped will be maintained in subsequent numbers of the Series.
