Editorial Review: Product Description: This classic work by the founding father of the Toyota Production System returns to print in a new translation. Ohno delivers timeless lessons on how to effectively manage the gemba actual place or work. He relates stories from across his nearly 40 years of struggle to establish the Toyota Production System as both a mindset and supporting behaviors of constant improvement. In the books 37 chapters, Ohno covers a broad range of topics and lays out the fundamental philosophy of kaizen (continuous improvement) that has made Toyota the most successful automobile manufacturer today.

 Rating: - Excellent, futher evidence why lean is so hard to copyThis book is a compelation of 38 short chapters that originally were spoken narratives with Taiichi Ohno. Jon Miller took these wonderful gems and then translated into English. There's also an excellent Publisher's Foreword and even better Afterword taken from Taiichi's 1st TPS textbook. Some concepts are likely to be unpopular and/or counterintuitive, such as scolding subordinates in front of others or most people are wrong 30-40% of the time. As such, this book is not for beginners ... Read More Rating: - Not suitable for beginnersThis book is - as mentioned bij others - a remarkable object, coming from one of the founder fathers of Toyota's Lean Adventure. The book is not written by him, but is the result of several discussions (or monologues) from Ohno. As such it is already possible to use as a study of Ohno himself. However,I suppose that Ohno-san would not like to be a hero or a white knight. This is not lean thinking, where the real hero's are those who add real value to the endcustomer. So, this book is of ... Read More Rating: - Maybe better than "Toyota Production System"Taiichi Ohno's workplace management used to be pretty hard to get, but John Miller re-translated and re-published it so now it's available for a larger audience. The book contains content from some spoken interviews, so that makes it somewhat strange to read, at least in the beginning, but makes it actually nice. This small book actually contains 38 chapters or which every one is one or two pages. Some of the chapters are extremely insightful in the way of thinking Taiichi Ohno used ... Read More Rating: - Management ClassicTaiichi Ohno is known as the father of the Toyota Production System (TPS), also called lean manufacturing. Taichi Ohno dictated the text to the Japan Management Association (in a series of interviews in 1982), which gives the book a sense of listening to him talk about the ideas. I found the conversational tone made it very easy to read. Workplace Management has earned a place among my favorite management books. I highly recommend it. It is packed with information. As a few rare management ... Read More Rating: - A must for the lean libraryWhile no one person invented lean, no one is given more credit than Taiichi Ohno. Access to his true thoughts and ideas are rare, and this book is the best and most useful of Ohno's work. Many lean students would want nothing more than to spend a day with Taiichi Ohno walking through their plant. This book is the closest thing we have left to that experience. Jon Miller has done a diligent job not just in translation but ensuring that the true meaning comes through in a readable fashion. You truly feel as ...
