About this listen

How to speed up business processes, improve quality, and cut costs in any industry.

In factories around the world, Toyota consistently makes the highest-quality cars with the fewest defects of any competing manufacturer, while using fewer man-hours, less on-hand inventory, and half the floor space of its competitors. The Toyota Way is the first book for a general audience that explains the management principles and business philosophy behind Toyota's worldwide reputation for quality and reliability.

Complete with profiles of organizations that have successfully adopted Toyota's principles, this book shows managers in every industry how to improve business processes by:

  • Eliminating wasted time and resources
  • Building quality into workplace systems
  • Finding low-cost but reliable alternatives to expensive new technology
  • Producing in small quantities
  • Turning every employee into a quality-control inspector

Clear, well-written overview of the Toyota Production System and leadership principles. The narrator’s performance fits the material well. Highly recommend for business leaders even if you’re not in manufacturing!

No fluff and an excellent narrator performance

What my company heavily pushes lean/TPS and i wanted to learn from the source material. We’re doing the very things they say we should avoid….

It’s nice to know my company is using lean/TPS as a fashion statement
