Wed, 06 Jul 2011 07:50:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://www.theleanlibrary.com/taiichi-ohnos-workplace-management/comment-page-1/#comment-243 Jamie F Sat, 28 Feb 2009 11:25:34 +0000 http://www.theleanlibrary.com/?p=393#comment-243 While 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 if you are in conversation with the father of the Toyota Production System. While this book won't paint a clear picture of what to do next on your lean journey, it should be required reading for any serious student of the subject.
