Commemorating the 100th Birthday of Taiichi Ohno

“This book brings to us Taiichi Ohno’s philosophy of workplace management―the thinking behind the Toyota Production System. I personally get a thrill down my spine to read these thoughts in Ohno’s own words.” ―Dr. Jeffrey Liker, Director, Japan Technology Management Program, University of Michigan and Author, The Toyota Way

This unique volume delivers a clear, concise overview of the Toyota Production System and kaizen in the very words of the architect of both of these movements, Taiicho Ohno, published to mark what would have been his 100th birthday. Filled with insightful new commentary from global quality visionaries, Taiichi Ohno’s Workplace Management is a classic that shows how Toyota managers were taught to think. Based on a series of interviews with Ohno himself, this timeless work is a tribute to his genius and to the core values that have made, and continue to make, Toyota one of the most successful manufacturers in the world.
