What would Ohno-san do?, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Taiichi Ohno (1912-1990) is considered the father of the Toyota Production System. For over five decades, Ohno-san, as he was respectfully referred to by colleagues and pupils, put novel management practices to work at Toyota that have since become commonplace in the West. Think jidoka, just-in-time, kanban and kaizen. An industrial engineer by training, Ohno-san integrated lean principles into a system of flow and human accomplishment that encompassed Toyota, its suppliers and distributors. Ohno-san's superpower: He believed unwaveringly in people's ability to use their intellect and mastery for the purpose of solving problems on the shop floor, the company, and throughout society at large.
