Rate this book
Achieve effective information flow through the extended value stream to the end customer. Efficient production is based on timely replenishment; therefore, dependable information flow is an absolute prerequisite to the successful implementation of lean production principles. But while most manufacturing managers understand how to make materials and manpower flow, the flow of information tends to be much more underdeveloped. Make certain that everyone gets the information that they need when they need it. "Lean Connections: Making Information Flow Efficiently and Effectively" starts by detailing information flow from the end customer through materials control to the production floor. Next, it explains how to make information flow on the production floor at the operator, team, and value stream level. From there the authors proceed to show, how to make information flow from the production floor through the extended value stream.

Esse tipo de livro é um caso de amor e ódio. Quando ele apresenta o fluxo de informação e como deve ser feita, parece uma maravilha. Mas esse modelo de ABC indústria não se adequa muito a realidade de variedade de produtos existentes atualmente. Quando se tem uma variação imensa, os tamanhos de lote e a estabilidade de fluxo parece impossível de ser determinada pra empresa.

Esse livro não vai te trazer respostas concretas, ele vai apenas te dar o exemplo de casos ABC. Recomendo a leitura pra entender o funcionamento, mas não espere sair com soluções aplicáveis de primeira.
