JIT Is Flow is Hirano and Furuya’ latest publication and I believe gives us for the first time in the West an extensive practical overview of JIT/Lean. This book is a wonderful addition to Jeffrey Liker’ The Toyota Way, and books by James P. Womack and others. I am sure that Mr. Ohno and Dr. Shingo would have approved. Here is a book, actually a manual in book form that can be used to drive your lean efforts. It is a “ewel,”packed with information adding extensively to what was contained in the JIT Handbook. I believe the best way to use this book to your advantage is to read it in study groups. Then see if you can get teams of managers, engineers and employees to read a few chapters; then attempt to implement those ideas immediately. You will learn by doing it. The power is in the doing!
