Here's the quickest and most inexpensive way to learn about the pioneering work of Shigeo Shingo, co-creator (with Taiichi Ohno) of just-in-time. It's an introductory book containing excerpts of five of his classic books as well as an excellent introduction by Professor Robinson.
A Great Single Volume Companion for Your Lean Journey
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Shigeo Shingo is an engaging and astute analyst and process owners around the world have learned key lessons from him over the years: the power of souce inspections and mistake proofing, the magic behind single minute changeovers. Thanks to Productivity Inc we now have a convenient single volume set of Shingo's greatest hits. I was able to use this as an introductory text for a lean book club in my biopharmaceutical manufacturing plant with great success. His sayings are sometimes Yoda-like but his ability to explain lean fundamentals using anecdotes and examples helps bring the ideas to life. The editors have provided helpful background text which provides crucial context to the excerpts.
