Lean Logistics

the long version

"Lean Logistics: The Nuts and Bolts of Delivering Materials and Goods by Michel Baudin addresses these issues, both the physical infrastructure of lean logistics and the information flows that compose its nervous system, as well as innovative approaches to supplier relations. Find out how to avoid shortages while maintaining low inventories and take advantage of the increased capacity and flexibility generated through lean manufacturing." "This book picks up where the author's previous books, Lean Assembly, left off - it clearly discusses and illustrates how to deliver parts efficiently to assemblers, and the correct process for finished goods after completion." "Lean Logistics completely covers manufacturing logistics, including its interaction with production control."--Jacket.
