Whatever name you may give our system, there are parts of it that are so far removed from generally acceptedideas (common sense) that if you do it only half way, it can actually make things worse.
If you are going to do TPS you must do it all the way. You also need to change the way you think. You need to change how you look at things. -- Taiichi Ohno
This book brings to us Taiichi Ohnos philosophy of workplace management--the thinking behind the Toyota Production System.
