Title: IMI-Norgren's Lean Factory & Business Process Re-engineering Project. An In-depth Technical Discussion and Virtual Factory Tour / Demonstration on Video (DVD video, and/or Optional 3D eBook)
Author(s) / Editor: Guy Dunkerley, Operations Director, IMI-Norgren at Kenilworth, UK, and Nick Norton, Principal Consultant at Nick Norton Associates, UK Interviews and Edited by Professor Paul G. Ranky, PhD, NJIT, USA
Description: This electronic publication is a professional quality DVD video presentation by Guy Dunkerley, Operations Director, IMI-Norgren, and Nick Norton, Principal Consultant. The presentation includes a full factory tour, covering every important manufacturing and assembly operation, and even some lean design considerations. We show the various work cells and processes, then we discuss the way the company, producing precision pneumatic valves, has changed to a lean and efficient factory. Several advanced manufacturing, assembly and process planning use cases are illustrated and discussed in detail. The principles presented apply to literally any industry. (There is an optional 3D eBook with this product covering further methods and well documented results.)

The 3D eBook publication, tested on hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students and professionals in the USA in the UK, EU and the Pacific Rim, is an excellent introduction to Business Process and Factory Re-engineering. It explains methods and practical aspects of different solutions. It discusses several basic principles, as the presenters take us on a guided factory re-engineering tour, explaining what they did, and why.

Title: Lean Visual Factory Management Principles and Industrial Examples in Denso's Michigan Manufacturing Plant, USA. An Engineering Management Educational Program (DVD Video)
Author(s) / Editor: Edited and produced by Professor Paul G. Ranky, PhD, NJIT, New Jersey, USA.
Description: This publication is a professional quality DVD video factory tour, covering Denso lean manufacturing system solutions in a Visual Factory Management & Control (VFM) framework. VFM is an integrated set of methods and technologies for the purpose of reducing waste at all levels, improving profitability, increasing lean production control, product & process quality, productivity, safety, on-demand / just-in-time (JIT) Kanban production / delivery, and employee morale in a factory, or virtually in any business. VFM and factory automation typically begins by following an integrated process, requirements, and risk analysis method, embedded into a statistical analysis and multimedia framework. As a result, the team will have a clear picture about what needs to be done, when, and how. The next step is typically the implementation of a 'Five S', a 'Lean Six-Sigma', and a 'Monozukuri' program. (See more about these methods and technologies in Professor Ranky's Library.)
