COMMEMORATING THE 100th BIRTHDAY OF TAIICHI OHNO
Businesses worldwide are successfully implementing the Toyota
Production System to speed up processes, reduce waste, improve
quality, and cut costs. While there is widespread adoption of TPS,
there is still much to be learned about its fundamental
principles.
This unique volume delivers a clear, concise overview of the
Toyota Production System and kaizen in the very words of the
architect of both of these movements, Taiicho Ohno, published to
mark what would have been his 100th birthday. Filled with
insightful new commentary from global quality visionaries, "Taiichi
Ohno's Workplace Management" is a classic that shows how Toyota
managers were taught to think.
Based on a series of interviews with Ohno himself, this timeless
work is a tribute to his genius and to the core values that have
made, and continue to make, Toyota one of the most successful
manufacturers in the world.
"Whatever name you may give our system, there are parts of it
that are so far removed from generally accepted ideas (common
sense) that if you do it only half way, it can actually make things
worse."
"If you are going to do TPS you must do it all the way. You also
need to change the way you think. You need to change how you look
at things." -- Taiichi Ohno
""This book brings to us Taiichi Ohno's philosophy of workplace
management--the thinking behind the Toyota Production System. I
personally get a thrill down my spine to read these thoughts in
Ohno's own words."" -- Dr. Jeffrey Liker, Director, Japan
Technology Management Program, University of Michigan, and Author,
