I do not see the Audio in line with the text book. If I try to refer the book during listening this audio, i find a big problem

Really inspiring book!

don't buy this it sucks

Reading this was like being run over by a Mack truck. If your a hard driving "pee em off and they will work harder" manager, read with caution, you wont be right when your done.

For anyone looking to begin a journey to Lean, and or looking to simply improve their business regardless of what type, this is where you start.
You have to first understand that success in your business begins with the fundamentals written here, and as it states not to copy what Toyota has done.
This is, hands down one of two books (listed within) I would recommend as a starting introduction to better business and must have must read.

This book describes in great detail the processes used by Toyota to streamline their manufacturing process and build-in quality. The reader was engaging and the topics interestingly developed with illustrations. However for each topic, the japanese term associated with the topic was read. That in itself wouldn't be so bad except that I couldn't remember the different terms when he referred back to the Japanese terms. A little irritating but overall a good book in the fashion of the 5 S's or LEAN manufacturing.
