Lean Production Training for Practice and Study - 35 Exercises with Solutions
No production is perfect. Waste creeps into every process. It makes it slow and expensive. Goods lie around in the warehouse, production takes place in unnecessarily large batches or employees wait unproductively to produce the next part. The result is high production costs and disappointed customers. Lean Production tackles this waste in all processes. But how do you actually implement the various Lean principles and methods? The success of Lean Production lies in doing, and this is precisely where the book comes in. The 35 practical exercises show in detail how the Lean approaches can be applied and successfully implemented. The solutions are supplemented with practical tips for implementation from the authors' extensive experience. The exercises are implemented in the LeanClean Inc. with many pictures and diagrams - concrete, simple and comprehensively explained.

Inventory Management - Mathematical models and their application
The text, designed for students in Engineering Management or Industrial Engineering degree programs, brings together the mathematical models that underlie the basis of inventory management, a fundamental aspect in the context of production systems. The text aims to provide students with the following skills: - to know the assumptions to which the different models underlie, in order to be able to assess whether they can be applied to the practical case and, in the case of incomplete applicability, to acquire through experience the order of magnitude of the error being made; - to understand the logic by which the models were developed, in order to know how to adapt them to the many cases that arise in reality; - to know how to apply the models numerically, that is, how to use the computational tools and procedures necessary to obtain the quantitative results of interest. To this end, the text describes all the mathematical steps and demonstrations necessary for the development of each model, to which are added numerical examples of the model's application.
