Paperback. Zustand: Fair. 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 company-wide improvement system.

By understanding that the great minds that developed such a powerful system started with simple experiments, you'll be encouraged to begin your own experiments and transform your organization.…
