'Let it be understood at the outset that JIT production is neither one auto maker's production system nor is it the subcontractor's curse. Instead, JIT consists of ideas and technologies for the complete elimination of waste' - Hiroyuki Hirano. Known as the JIT Bible in Japan and authored by a top international consultant with vast experience throughout Asia and the West, this authoritative text is the most comprehensive and detailed manual of its kind for setting up a Just-in-Time manufacturing program from start to finish. This six-volume presentation is filled with practical examples in support of lean implementation and quality maintenance, including more than 200 illustrations, checklists, charts, diagrams, and sample JIT management forms.
