Excellent workbook for lean materials project.If you are looking for some information about how to control materials and how to suply to shopfloor, this is the right book for you.Take a consideration that this is more for high volume, low mix models, purchased parts (not make parts, fabrication)However, there is an apendix for these subjects.

Where to start? Start with this book. Easy to read - not 10,000 pages and very simple and clear.

Excellent workbook with a practical explanation on how to keep your cells supplied with the material needed for operation.

The LEI books do a solid job of breaking down Lean principles but tend to gloss over the nitty-gritty of complex manufacturing realities. Take "Making Materials Flow" as a case in point: it assumes each cell churns out the identical part daily, which doesn't square with the real-world scenario where cells produce a multitude of SKUs, often in the thousands. This oversimplification misses the mark in addressing the real challenges faced on the shop floor, leaving a significant void in hands-on, practical guidance for those in the trenches.

It is an excellent book.It is very easy to read and comprehensive.I like it, I recommend this book.
