DESCRIPTION:
Learn how to integrate quality and reliability control, machine tool maintenance, production and inventory control, and suppliers into the linked-cell system for one-piece-parts movement within cells and small-lot movement between cells. Based on decades of study and firsthand observations of prominent companies in the automotive, aerospace, and plastics industries, the authors explain how members of the lean implementation team-from the manufacturing engineer to the shop floor team leader-can achieve lean cellular system designs. Eminent Manufacturing systems experts J. Black and Steve Hunter explain how cellular systems comprise the foundation of the entire lean implementation process in this book. When discussing the advanced use of automation, this book provides leading-edge-information on how 3-D software can be used to simulate hypothetical cells and map out the impact ergonomics has on productivity (an often-overlooked lean variable) in existing cells..

Contains great things and totally wrong things in one book Lean Manufacturing Systems and Cell Design by Black and Hunter is an interesting book because of it's brillant insights usually followed by totally wrong statements.Given the title I assumed the book had to do with Lean Manufacturing but the authors never refer to the 7 or 8 wastes, or other tenets of Lean. They have observed some very good, lean, systems and have some very good observations about cells but they also confuse takt time with cycle time (very different things); they mix the terms cell and cell. natanael Portillo said As described. My girlfriend needed this for her class. She used it more for reference than to Lear from she had a good proffesor. Overall as described and shipped on time for the quarter.. The Great Lean manufacturing book The lean manufacturing book for practtioner which was written by the manufacturing expertise.
