Here's the first information ever published in Japan on the Toyota production system (also known as Just-In-Time manufacturing). Here Ohno, who created JIT for Toyota, reveals the origins, daring innovations, and ceaseless evolution of the Toyota system into a full management system. You'll learn how to manage JIT from the man who invented it, and to create a winning JIT environment in your own manufacturing operation. The toyota production systems also forms the base for lean manufacturing.
