Book Reviews of Decoding the DNA of the Toyota Production System
Book Review: Excellent, Required Reading for my Operational Excellence Team
Summary: 5 Stars
This article, among other material, is required reading for my team.
Pro:
-Brief article with a nice executive summary
-Describes in part why lean, Toyota's version of just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing, works so well (and you can see one reason why it is so hard to copy)
Con:
-In my view does not fully address DNA elements, a short article by D. Rock and J. Schwartz called "The Neuroscience of Leadership" published by Business and Strategy, issue 43, adds more to the puzzle
Bottom line: a must have.
