Detailed engineering description of TPS
There are a lot of books about the Toyota Production System, but this is one of the most useful for those actually attempting to implement elements of this system. Most of the books on TPS by western authers are just superficial glosses written by MBA's who don't seem to have a clue how to make anything. This book is detailed, specific, clearly written, and very well translated. Some of the material is repetative, nevertheless this is the book to get on TPS.

Excellant book to understand how the TPS evolved.
I enjoyed it since it gave me insight on how TPS evolved and allowed me to better understand not how TPS works but more why. Similar Products
