Great product, fast delivery. Very happy!

Jeff Liker has revised his best selling description of Toyota’s management system. Lots of new material and up to date material. An important guide for managers and students trying to understand the lean revolution and to draw lessons for their own organisations. An important book that will undoubtedly become a classic in time.

Before reading this book I'd read a few snippets in other books around Toyota's Lean way of working, but this book tells a comprehensive story not only about the success behind Toyota's legendary customer-centric product development techniques along with market performance data to back it up, but it also gives insight into how the business got out of its comfort zone to innovate with the Lexus and Prius.If you're an advocate for an empowered and learning culture, you'll love this book as it's packed with inspiring examples of how their success started with a healthy culture and a long-term philosophy.This book gives insight into how Toyota creates an ideal environment for implementing Lean techniques and tools by:🔸️Fostering an atmosphere of continuous improvement and learning🔸️Satisfying customers (and eliminating waste at the same time)🔸️Getting quality right the first time🔸️Coaching leaders from within rather than recruiting them from the outside🔸️Teaching all employees to become problem solvers🔸️Growing together with suppliers and partners for mutual benefit

If you have the first edition the updated commentary doesn’t add enough value to bother buying this book. If you don’t have the first edition then it’s a good introduction to TPS. Just don’t believe the description when it says it’s been updated for this edition far too much is similar.
