Do your customers complain that your lead times are too long and deliveries too late? Lean Logistics: The Nuts and Bolts of Delivering Materials and Goods by Michel Baudin helps you determine whether you have the right supply to meet your customers’ demands, as well as the ability to organize and deliver that supply. In this cutting edge work, Baudin addresses the physical infrastructure of lean logistics and the flow of information that composes its nervous system. He demonstrates the methods that will allow you to avoid shortages while maintaining low inventories, while showing you how to take advantage of the increased capacity and flexibility generated through lean manufacturing. This book picks up where the Baudin’s previous book, Lean Assembly, left off. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

Practical and real solutions for real challengesFeb 09, 2006
By josef.horber@web.de
Lean Thinking originated from TPS and is well spread in the manufacturing world, with a lot of information on how to improve manufacturing. For logistics however, many Lean tools don't apply; on the other hand there are aspects more specific to logistics, which are not well addressed by the manufacturing-oriented Lean literature.
This book fills the gap and is well written. It is:
-specific instead of generic
-practical instead of theoretical
-detailed instead of high-level
-original instead of "me too"
So, the book shows real problems and solutions in real factories, instead of repeating the same buzzwords, that You can find anyway at any place. It seems to be based on a lot of personal experience of the author.
The messages are illustrated very well with photos, sketches and charts. These are small and not high-end quality but perfectly suitable to deliver the message: "pictures tell more then thousand words".
The text is easily comprehensible, even for a non-native english speaker, like me.

At last, a practical, easy-to-read Logistics bookFeb 18, 2006
By Jerry Feingold
Michel's obvious hands-on experience and his exceptionally clear writing style makes this book a joy to read as well as an excellent reference resource. Every aspect of logistics from the supplier to the end customer is covered in detail with a strong focus on Lean. The author's use of real life examples and his wonderful graphics makes this book stand out.

First book on lean logisticsFeb 09, 2006
By vicky0601
Till date, though "lean" was practiced by leaders in respective fields, not much literature is available. This book captured different lean logistics practices followed, particularly in automotive world.
I think author wrote this book with lot of his practical knowledge. Among many I was impressed with details on milkruns, consolidation center and returnable containers, pros and cons of using them and right conditions of using them.
