| | | |  The Toyota Product Development System : Integrating People, Process And Technology
by James M. Morgan and Jeffrey K. Liker
The ability to bring new and innovative products to market rapidly is the prime critical competence for any successful consumer-driven company. All industries, especially automotive, are slashing product development lead times in the current hyper-competitive marketplace. This book is the first to thoroughly examine and analyze the truly effective product development methodology that has made Toyota the most forward-thinking company in the automotive industry.
In The Toyota Product Development System : Integrating People, Process, and Technology, James Morgan and Jeffrey Liker compare and contrast the world-class product development process of Toyota with that of a U.S. competitor. They use extensive examples from Toyota and the U.S. competitor to demonstrate value stream mapping as an extraordinarily powerful tool for continuous improvement.
Through examples and case studies, this book illustrates specific techniques and proven practices for dealing with challenges associated with product development, such as synchronizing multiple disciplines, multiple function workload leveling, compound process variation, effective technology integration, and knowledge management.

| | | |  Creating Mixed Model Value Streams : Practical Lean Techniques for Building to Demand
by Jeffrey K. Liker and Kevin J. Duggan
Apply Lean Thinking to Dynamic, High-Mix Manufacturing.
CREATING MIXED MODEL VALUE STREAMS : Practical Lean Techniques for Building to Demand.
How can you apply value stream mapping and lean concepts to the more complex environment created by mixed model (high variety) manufacturing operations? CREATING MIXED MODEL VALUE STREAMS helps to address the challenges of high-mix manufacturing.
Topics Covered Include :
- 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 (load leveling) boxes that provide visual schedules at regular intervals
- Applying mix logic charts to determine finished-goods strategies and meet seasonal demand.
The author uses a step-by-step approach, illustrated through a case study based actual experience, to go beyond the basics of value stream mapping and to show how to create future states in the real manufacturing world of multiple products, varying cycle times, and changing demand. The book includes a CD-ROM featuring useful spreadsheets for sorting products into families and calculating equipment needs. Comprehensive and down-to-earth, CREATING MIXED MODEL VALUE STREAMS provides the details and techniques for implementing lean in the complex environment that manufacturers face on their own shop floors.
