Designed specifically for the garment industry.  Assists in understanding how to apply the 10-step plan and how to define corporate objectives, needs and requirements in order to align the entire organization to common objectives through visual control systems.  Unlike visual displays which relate information and data to employees in the area, a visual control actually controls or guides actions of affected group members.  With effective visual control systems in place, it is possible to see at a glance just what is going on in the factory.

Effective transformation to modular manufacturing requires simulation.  This book explains what simulation is, why it is necessary and how to carry it out, and is designed for use by engineers and managers.  Past production problems are solved with improved team set-ups and formulation, leading to better use of space, labor and machinery.  Grouping workers into U-shaped assembly cells achieves two important Lean objectives, namely One-Piece Flow and High Variety Production.

Many factories complete a single order and then let goods sit in their warehouse occupying space until delivery.  With flexible planning schedules based on real-time customer demand known as the Shishkebab Method, or Mixed Model production planning, several orders may be scheduled more or less simultaneously thereby avoiding the build-up of inventories.  Production teams can change styles virtually at any time and revert back to the same style if needed with the minimum of downtime.  This Lean technique ensures minimal waste in terms of overproduction, unnecessary space and underutilized labor and/or machinery.
