Master the Toyota Production System (TPS) and Lean Manufacturing Principles

Unlock the secrets of Toyota’s world-renowned production system with this comprehensive "interconnected standalone series". Designed for lean practitioners, operations managers, engineers, and students, it covers Just-in-Time (JIT), Jidoka (built-in quality), kaizen, standardized work, and PDCA for process improvement, waste reduction, and operational excellence.
