Review: It takes a logical mind - What is said about JIT is very logical. Many so called Lean companies and consultants trip over Kanban but shouldn’t. Remember, Time is to Manufacturing functionality as to what Gravity is to the functions of the universe. In JIT, the concept of, you only get what you need when you need is relative to time. Example- If an outside supplier of a machining process, sequenced part says he needs three days lead time to setup, machine, degrease, deburr, delivery, then the Kan ban size inventory is three days worth of material; the Time it takes to resupply. As you consume at your takt-time rate, your supplier makes replenishment at his rate of three days. You should synchronize your material storage to match his Process times to supply you with. I have worked at two Japanese world product foot print manufacturers that are Deep Dive Toyota Process System companies that are very Lean mature and supposedly three Lean American companies. The American company’s interpretation of JIT is to literally only order items when needed (that day). Comparing the cultural JIT application differences was disappointing to witness how poorly the American companies applied the TPS approach. At the American companies We had to continually stop the line for no parts or material because we ignorantly didn’t factor in the lead times to resupply us. Their argument was, “It’s supposed be ordered by ‘Just In Time’ processes. We’re supposed to maintain only what’s needed and only order at the time when needed.” This non-sense behavior applied the literal meaning of the words ‘Just In Time’ while ignoring context, logic, principals, and common sense of what was being taught. That’s why Taiichi Ohno said the misapplication of JIT could cause serious damage to your product flow and the entire operations. Line Stoppage with waste everywhere.
Review: Ohno's management philosophy and approach to solving problems - This books is full of incredible insights and teachings about manufacturing and specifically TPS. However if you are looking for a specific tool, rule or spreadsheet to help you this is not the book for you. The best stuff is woven into the fabric of the book as Ohno's goal was to teach people a management philosophy and approach to solving problems versus specific insights about a machine or particular manufacturing line.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It takes a logical mind

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book, but you have to persist through the translation factor...
*by D***D on September 3, 2015*

I am going to say - these things translated from Japanese are a trick to read. They don't flow like an English author - but the data in them reveals a different way of thinking - that I will say is the essence of the East. I see how the Japanese took Henry Ford's seminal 'eliminate waste' and took it to a new level, where Ford Motor Company didn't - they had to relearn it from the Japanese... (forgive my blasphemy!). It's Eastern thought applied to a production system and out comes something brilliant. Its 5-star data that you have to dig in and really digest due to the difference in the languages.
