With examples drawn from aerospace, electronics, household appliance, personal products, and automotive industries, Lean Assembly shows readers how to properly analyze and design assembly systems, working out all the details such as incorporating mistake-proofing concepts. The book provides a guided tour of lean manufacturing technique applied to existing or newly designed assembly facilities. The focus on technical content as a driver for implementation methods sets it apart from other books on lean manufacturing. The emphasis is on exactly what should be done. This book should be the "dog-eared" and "penciled-in" resource on every assembly engineer's desk.
