Description

Card-based Control Systems for a Lean Work Design provides a fresh approach to understanding and solving common problems in manufacturing and service operations. By starting with an introduction to the control problem, rather than the solution, this book offers a unique perspective on how to improve problem diagnosis. The first four chapters lay the foundations for problem diagnosis, while the next three chapters delve into each of the traditional card-based control systems: kanban, ConWIP, and POLCA. The book then explores Control of Balance by Card-Based Navigation (COBACABANA), a novel approach developed for high-variety shops producing made-to-order products. A framework is provided at the end to guide readers in selecting the most suitable card-based control system for their specific needs, contrasting the control problem with the control solution.
