| Summary: | The book is written in a rather weird format. Every chapter (there is just three of them) starts of with a theme. Then a dialog between Taiichi Ohno and Setsuo Mito. After the dialog there are some notes which seem to be written by Setsuo Mito (which makes him the main author and Ohno just verbally involved). The first chapter mainly talks about JIT. The second chapter focuses on being driven by the customer. The customer should pull the products. The third chapter talks about gemba management. One of the more interesting things of the book is the talk and comparison between TPS and the Japanese seven eleven stores. It explains how both of them have the same purpose and came to the same conclusions. This is interesting since it seems to mirror somewhat the discussions in Lean Solutions book from Womack and Jones, published 20 years later. In that sense, the book was ahead of its time. |
