"For anyone interested in the Toyota Production System (TPS, often called "Lean Manufacturing," or simply "Lean" in the US), this is a must-read. This book is not like Jeffery Liker's "The Toyota Way." This is a personal account given by one the production system's architects, Taiichi Ohno. While books such as Liker's "Toyota Way" may give insight from a managerial perspective, Ohno presents his story (and it does read much like a narrative) in a historical frame. Through reading this, one sees that the Toyota Production System isn't just another flavor of the month, nor is it simply a collection of buzzwords (such as Kaizen, 5-S, Just-in-Time). TPS is a vast and ever changing (one of the fundamentals--kaizen--is indeed, continuous improvement) collection of tools and philosophies that together strive to achieve a goal of producing products (or services) at the highest quality, lowest cost, and in the shortest ammount of time."
