Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
There are a lot of books that describe the Toyota Production System, but most do so in a way that implies that there was a master plan to create a companywide improvement system. But as the pioneers in The Birth of Lean explain, there was no master planTPS came about through experimentation, trial and error, and an evolution of ideas that shaped Toyotas structure and management system. This is an honest look at the origins of Lean, written in the words of the people who created the system. Through interviews and annotated talks, you will hear firstperson accounts of what these innovators and problemsolvers did and why they did it. Youll read rare, personal commentaries that explain the interplay of (sometimes opposing) ideas that created a revolution in thinking. In The Birth of Lean, youll get a glimpse inside the minds and thought processes of the systems creators and innovators: Taiichi Ohnothe man who envisioned a way of working that would evolve into the Toyota Production System Eiji Toyodathe former Toyota President and Chairman who oversaw the development of TPS and the inclusion of TQC at Toyota Kikuo Suzumurathe Toyota manager recognized as the most influential in translating Ohnos ideas into actionable items Michikazu Tanakathe manager and executive at Toyota affiliate Daihatsu who adapted TPS to his organization Kaneyoshi Kusunokithe former head of Toyotas production engineering organization who refined the buffering system in use in Toyotas operations Masao Nemotothe Toyota executive central to the deployment of TQC at Toyota In this English translation of a previously published Japanese book, youll hear the words of the people who created the countermeasures that Toyota devised to address issues as they arosecountermeasures that they continue to use and adapt today. By understanding that the great minds that developed such a powerful system started with simple experiments, youll be encouraged to begin your own experiments and transform your organization.
