Produktbeschreibung

Most books about Toyota's approach to workplace improvement describe Toyota's practices as case studies or stories. Designed to aid in the implementation of Lean manufacturing from a management perspective, this book presents a new way of exploring Toyota's management system one that integrates systems thinking with Lean implementation. It explains that most organizations already have what it takes to succeed with TPS. What's usually missing is balance. This book supplies a blueprint for understanding how to put the TPS pieces together to achieve that balance.
