With examples drawn from aerospace, electronics, household appliance, personal products, and automotive industries, Lean Assembly covers the engineering of assembly operations through:

Characterizing the demand in terms of volume by product and product family, component consumption, seasonal variability and life cycle.
Matching the physical structure of the shop floor to the demand with the goal of approaching takt-driven production as closely as possible.
Working out the details of assembly tasks station by station, including station sizing, tooling, fixturing, operator instructions, part presentation, conveyance between stations, and the geometry of assembly lines as a whole.
Incorporating mistake-proofing, successive inspection, and test operations for quality assurance.
Lean Assembly differs from most other books on lean manufacturing in that it focuses on technical content as a driver for implementation methods. 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.

Industry Reviews

"Designing and implementing lean production systems presents a never-ending host of curious puzzles. Experienced practitioners as well as novices will find Michel Baudin's Lean Assembly full of creative solutions."

Tom Berghan, Lean Specialist, Korry Electronics 06/01/04

"Lean Assembly will be a vital resource to those at the forefront of Lean implementation. It shows the reader how to properly analyze and design assembly systems, while working out all the details such as incorporating mistake-proofing concepts. Lean Assembly will find itself on the desk of the Lean Implementer rather than on a bookshelf collecting dust."

Dale Bayley, Lean Champion, Racor Division, Parker Hannifin 06/01/04
