It's more than just 14 principles......

July 25, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

A great book about the Toyota Way. If you read between the lines it's really not about the 14 principles but about people. People are a powerful resource. Treat people right, teach people to think, teach people to care, teach people to be passionate about what they believe in -- do all these things and you can build a great company. Oh, you may build a few cars along the way, too.

It's a great book if you are in the manufacturing business

January 18, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

It's a great book if you are in the manufacturing business, the book does seem a little bit bias. But I did learn from it, even though I'm not in the manufacturing business. I don't feel like it had alot of management principles content. I feel like it has more content about efficient manufacturing.

Great book for intro or primer on Lean / Toyota way

September 15, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Great book to either get you started on Lean methodologies or dive deep in to how Toyota uses Lean/Just-in-Time techniques that can apply to any industry (manufacturing, software, design...any industry that delivers a product can benefit from the concepts in this book). It is a bit lengthy and as the title indicates, this book is about the Toyota way--not specifically Lean or Six Sigma which are not the same as the Toyota way, though they are similar and use many of the same concepts.

Must read for any career field

September 11, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

There is a good mix of examples of how the Toyota way is followed and how to implement. I am not all the way through the book yet, but even though it is primarily manufacturing-focused, I am getting a lot of ideas on how to use this in my service/utility setting.

Mr. Practical

A must read for any business in any industry. If you have just one book in your business operations library choose this one.

September 14, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

The definitive text on the TPS - Toyota Production System. Toyota wrote the book on Lean and this is the one. Belongs in every successful business person's library. The text isn't a how-to on Lean, there are other books that are better on how to implement. This text is about how Toyota developed the system - their journey and the development of the Management Principles that support any pursuit of world class processes and world class quality. The management principles apply to any business and in any industry including Financial Services, distribution, software development, manufacturing, hospitals and healthcare, government, education, retail, anything and everything that involves processes will benefit from the principles and practices of Lean.

Just be sure to write your name in it so that you get it back when you lend it to someone - it can get passed from person to person before you know it!
