5.0 out of 5 stars
A great introduction to JIT world,
This review is from: Just-in-Time: Making It Happen: Unleashing the Power of Continuous Improvement (Hardcover)
This is a great introduction to JIT. It covers main issues as the core knowlodge of this technique as well as the implementation cornerstones. It's an easy to read way to get a handle on this planning and production control. It has also tried to get a compromise with MRP without forgeting currently popular topics as the link to suppliers and customers. As a plus, there are some chapters for problem solving using quality control techniques as storyboards which are actually useful in many others environments and areas.

The book is an excellent guide to JIT implementation.,
By cgurski@ibm.net (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Just-in-Time: Making It Happen: Unleashing the Power of Continuous Improvement (Hardcover)
Just-In-Time:Making It Happen can be an invaluable guide to implementing JIT principles in the manufacturing environment. Although it is not a cookbook, it does provide a comprehensive step-by-step to understanding and implementing a workable JIT process. Perhaps the most valuable contribution of the book is the way it demonstrates that JIT processes can coexist with MRP effectively. Sandras defines those functions that need to be incorporated in the MRP System to most effectively interface with and support JIT. However, he also describes how the MRP System can be manually augmented to allow their coexistence. But what I liked best was the practitioner's understanding of the problems facing the JIT implementer.

Good, mostly based on real life experiences,
By A Customer
This review is from: Just-in-Time: Making It Happen: Unleashing the Power of Continuous Improvement (Hardcover)
Gives a very good insight into JIT, making you aware of the zillion things manufacturing companies can (still!!) do to avoid waste. The book, however, does not prepare you for actual implementation. For that to happen, there is nothing to replace being an 'insider' in the manufacturing environment.
