9780971303188: Fundamentals of Flow Manufacturing

Synopsis

In spite of its widespread and growing acceptance around the world, a clear explanation of the methods of flow manufacturing has been lacking. In Fundamentals of Flow Manufacturing, flow veterans Gerard Leone and Richard D. Rahn fill this void with a step-by-step exposition of flow manufacturing strategies. Presenting the implementation process with entertaining and easy-to-understand examples, case histories and war stories, Leone and Rahn make it possible for both manufacturing and non-manufacturing professionals to understand how this strategy applies to them. The benefits include fast response time to customers, error-free processes, high quality and productivity, and the ability to compete in today’s global economy.

Leone and Rahn are experts in flow manufacturing, and as trainers and consultants they have implemented flow in some of the world’s largest companies, including GE, Boeing, Kodak, Applied Materials and Emerson Electric. Mr. Rahn is also the author of Advanced Flow Manufacturing, published in 2001.
