De theorie van Lean Manufacturing is op zich heel eenvoudig. De praktische uitwerking ervan meestal niet.
Dit boek helpt je om de vertaalslag naar het echte leven en de echte productie-omstandigheden te maken.

Topics die behandeld worden:
* Mapping value streams in real-life manufacturing environments
* Developing future states that can respond to daily changes in customer demand
* Creating flow through the "pacemaker" process when products have different cycle times
* Setting up mixed model heijunka boxes that provide visual schedules at regular intervals
* Applying mix logic charts to determine finished-goods strategies and meet seasonal demand

While “Learning to See” is the foundation of VSM and is definitely a must-read to understand the value stream mapping technique, this book seems to me to be no worse. In fact, I find it even better if the value stream map is already known or at least a seen thing. Very short, case-based, with many practical solutions and even more answers to the challenges that demand variations can bring.
