"A good book that describes how Toyota builds cars. They did miss a critical feature though. The book describes a very efficient "lean" production system at Toyota. However, what Toyota really does is an evolutionary process for learning how to build cars in better and better ways. When the book was published, Toyota had already moved to newer methods. It is the evolutionary (learning) process that really delivers Toyota's enduring strength."

"Fascinating history of the development of mass production at the Henry Ford factory in early 1900's and how it excelled in terms of efficiency over European craft production. Large amount of statistics and graphs that were satisfying to me. Shows how the continuing use of cost and efficiency per part produced as the prime motivator in a company can be disastrous. Discusses the new idea of "Lean Production" where manufacturing flow, flexibility, and value added per customer are important. Written about 20 years ago so somewhat dated. Wish author had done a better study of Japanese culture, number of engineers, average math/science score, what is defined as a good job in Japan, since I think this plays a role in why Toyota is so much better at making cars than an American company. Great read for anyone with an engineering or management interest."
