Book Reviews of The Toyota Way: 14 Management Principles from the World's Greatest Manufacturer
Book Review: Awesome! Read it twice!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am half way done with Toyota Way and would recommend this book to anyone looking for a thorough analysis of process and change. I do not work in manufacturing but am reading the book for ideas to apply in the service industry. The author has suggestions for services industries while talking about manufacturing---there are specific sections for service industry.Book Review: Behind-the-scenes of Big Business
Summary: 4 Stars
A good behind the scenes type of book. Interesting to learn why Toyota is one of the big three automakers.Book Review: Best book ever in recent years on Toyota DNA
Summary: 5 Stars
There are very few books or papers available to give details on Toyota DNA in a plain english and that too with examples.
Thank you Dr.Liker for doing excellent job and looking forward to see your next book.
I completely agree with what Dr. Liker described in Principles 8 and 11, as I was fortunate to experience "Toyota Way" as a supplier.
Dr Liker's next book "The Toyota Way Fieldbook" is to be released at the end of this month (Sep 2005) and I am one of the many eagerly waiting to read it.
Book Review: Beyond Lean Manufacturing
Summary: 5 Stars
Knowing all the lean tools and having implemented many of them, there still seems to be something missing. While this book discusses the Lean tools, it also discusses what makes them effective. It discusses, the history, mindset, and environment that created and made Lean Manufacturing today.
This book is not for the Lean Champion but for the CEO, the Divisional VP, the Plant Manager, especially in those situations where Lean just has not or is not living up to the expectations.
