How to speed up business processes, improve quality, and cut costs in any industry


In factories around the world, Toyota consistently makes the highest-quality cars with the fewest defects of any competing manufacturer, while using fewer man-hours, less on-hand inventory, and half the floor space of its competitors.

  • Eliminating wasted time and resources

  • Building quality into workplace systems

  • Finding low-cost but reliable alternatives to expensive new technology

  • Producing in small quantities

  • Turning every employee into a qualitycontrol inspector
