Summary
Summary
A bestseller for more than two decades, this classic work covers the entire framework of the Toyota Production System (TPS), including its theoretical underpinnings as well as pragmatic information on how it is implemented. The revised fourth edition presents the latest developments in TPS at Toyota. For example, the text emphasizes the humanistic production system, that is, how respect for humanity was introduced into TPS. The author also explores the link between Kaizen methods and calculation methods in TPS. New material focuses on electronic Kanban systems, computer-based information systems, cellular manufacturing systems versus conveyor lines, and mini-profit centers.
