Finally, a lean cross dock follows the TPS principle of heijunka, which is the Japanese word for "to make level." In a cross dock, heijunka would involve leveling the load across operational hours in a manner that supports JIT operations. www.manufacturing.net /scm/article/CA528696.html   (3382 words)
