Lean Tooling The Right Tool at the Right Time - Fabrizio, Tom

About the Author Tom Fabrizio learned about just-in-time and lean manufacturing in the early 1980s from Dr. Shigeo Shingo of Toyota and Dr. Ryuji Fukuda, author and Deming prize winner. For 20 years, Don Tapping has worked to eliminate waste and improve bottom-line results in the telecommunications, medical, automotive, industrial, and aerospace markets. Tapping directed the lean implementation at Eaton Aerospace Division for over five years,UN ISTRUT Corporation, and Data Scan Services. Product Description The purpose of Lean Tooling is simple: To ensure that the right tool, in good condition, is in the hands of the right person, at the right time, in the right place. To do that, we have created a five-phase process that may, on the surface, seem too detail, too picky. But remember, lean manufacturing is a series of small, interconnected steps leading to lasting achievements. Lean Tooling is exactly the same. Each step is tried-and-true. They have been tested. We urge you to try them for yourself, and then modify the system to fit your needs.
