[edit] Heijunka

Keep: Heijunka is a technique that is used in the lean manufacturing business model. It is NOT the same a Just-in-time, so should not be merged with that. The description given is not at all clear, though the examples of how it works are correct. Not notable. r3m0t talk 16:04, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, 15,700 google hits [1]. Kappa 16:06, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Either way, this needs a rewrite to be coherent. Alr 16:32, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Best not to rewrite until the question of notability has been settled. Kappa 16:36, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Could not this be usfully redirected to or merged with Just In Time? This seems to be a particular version of "Just In Time" manufacturing. DES (talk) 16:46, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I have added a couple of citations that seem to indicate at least some notability -- I think the use in a speech by the Presidnet and CEO of Toyota is rather telling. Weak keep or merge as above. DES (talk) 17:03, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
  • merge per DES MNewnham 17:37, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge into Just In Time unless someone can tell me why this is a distinct concept from that. (The article certainly can't and I haven't managed to find anything on Google.) --Last Malthusian 20:02, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per comments above. -- JJay 23:28, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
This AfD is being relisted to generate a clearer consensus. Please add new discussion below this notice. Thanks! --Ichiro 23:50, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
