What happened to Toyota?
Read John Shook’s eletter NASA: Toyota “problems not Rocket Science” and Jeff Liker’s new book Toyota under Fire for a thoughtful analysis of the facts. Jim Womack in Beyond Toyota and Dan Jones in Toyota’s Challenge for the Lean Movement summarise what it means for the rest of us.
What is Lean?
The Lean Thinking book describes the practice of lean. Daniel Jones addresses What is Lean?, The Truth about Lean and How Lean is your Organisation?
John Shook goes Back to Basics and Jim Womack outlines Lean for the Long Term.
