Interested in, and still learning about, Lean (since 1982!) but in ever-expanding areas of application. I was course director of the world's first Masters in Lean at Cardiff (1999 to 2012). Now Professor of Lean at Buckingham univ. Author of, amongst others, Lean Toolbox which has sold around 120,000 copies.

Advises managers as to which techniques should be realized in order to begin implementation of JIT, or to achieve further improvement if a commitment has already been made to JIT implementation. Specifically, focuses on small-to-medium manufacturing companies producing high volume discrete components. The advice is based on an expanded two-stage process for JIT implementation.

From the outset the aims of the course were not only to provide students with up-to-date knowledge and appreciation of management in the service sector, but to also give students practical experience of ...

A three-year research project in the automotive steel supply chain found that lack of understanding of the core processes throughout the supply chain caused distortion and amplification of both demand and supply patterns. In consequence,

Simulating MRP – A New Perspective for Training

Industrial Management & Data Systems, 1992

ABSTRACT Traditional computer-based material requirements planning (MRP) systems are usually impl... more ABSTRACT Traditional computer-based material requirements planning (MRP) systems are usually implemented on large, mini-computer systems. The MRP module is frequently one, albeit a central one, of a complex of modules together referred to as MRP II or Manufacturing Resources Planning. These systems, although ideal for real-life, day-to-day use, can present a problem when used for training purposes. The sheer number of facilities available and consequent complexity of use often means that a lengthy training period is required. Describes a PC-based MRP simulation package which encompasses the main features of existing MRP packages available in industry. As such, the package is ideal for training purposes. It allows typical MRP activities to be performed and basic knowledge of the most important MRP features to be gained. Great emphasis has been placed on a user-friendly interface. Describes the PC-based training system, the first of a series which will eventually cover several MRP II modules.

JIT Manufacturing Simulation

The wide range of activities making up JIT has posed real problems for its implementation. This fact motivated the development of a PC-based software package which simulates JIT manufacturing. The package serves as an important educational training aid which may be used to illustrate various JIT principles, and as a valuable pedagogic tool for management. The simulation (or game) is interactive so that the user may make a sequence of decisions and then view the effect of these on a simulated production line. Extensive use is made of the colour graphics facilities of the PC for visual displays. The software is based on an existing manual version of the game.
