Produktbeschreibung

Why do so many Lean implementations fail to deliver stable flow? Because they ignore the core secret behind Just-in-Time: Heijunka.

In this concise, practical guide, Dr. Mohamed H. Soliman explains how production leveling - or Heijunka - helps organizations:

• Build predictable and stable production schedules
• Reduce overburden, bottlenecks, and downtime
• Align suppliers and internal processes for smoother flow
• Cut inventory without risking stockouts
• Unlock the full potential of Just-in-Time (JIT) systems

Whether you're managing a factory floor or improving service operations, Heijunka is the missing link between demand and discipline - and this book gives you a clear roadmap to apply it.

Achieve flow. Reduce chaos. Level up your operations - the Toyota way.
