Within manufacturing industries, lean manufacturing and systems rooted in lean principles stand out as the most effective tool used to enhance productivity, quality, and comprehensive economic, environmental, and social sustainability.Lean Manufacturing and Service: Fundamentals, Applications, and Case Studies is not merely a guide to lean tools for cost reduction. Instead, it showcases lean as a holistic system encompassing design, planning, management, and operations, relevant to all organizations. Moreover, it delves into its integration with Industry 4.0 and its concepts.Designed primarily for graduate and undergraduate courses, this book is also a valuable resource for industry professionals. It features exercises ranging from basic to multifaceted examples, insightful case studies, and end-of-chapter challenges. A solutions manual and lecture slides are also available to ensure a quality course experience.

Almost all the systems in our world, including technical, social, economic, and environmental systems, are becoming interconnected and increasingly complex, and as such they are vulnerable to various risks. Due to this trend, resilience creation is becoming more important to system managers and decision makers, this to ensure sustained performance. In order to be able to ensure an acceptable sustained performance under such interconnectedness and complexity, resilience creation with a system approach is a requirement. Mathematical modeling based approaches are the most common approach for system resilience creation.Mathematical Modelling of System Resilience covers resilience creation for various system aspects including a functional system of the supply chain, overall supply chain systems; various methodologies for modeling system resilience; satellite-based approach for addressing climate related risks, repair-based approach for sustainable performance of an engineering system, and modeling measures of the reliability for a vertical take-off and landing system. Each of the chapters contributes state of the art research for the relevant resilience related topic covered in the chapter. Technical topics covered in the book include:1. Supply chain risk, vulnerability and disruptions 2. System resilience for containing failures and disruptions3. Resiliency considering frequency and intensities of disasters4. Resilience performance index5. Resiliency of electric Traction system6. Degree of resilience7. Satellite observation and hydrological risk8. Latitude of Resilience9. On-line repair for resilience10. Reliability design for Vertical Takeoff and landing Prototype
