"a little too much Toyota Fan Boy at times, a bit repetitive, not much Japanese culture context (a lot traces back to this but it's not discussed) but a good read for a biz book. I can't remember the 14 principles after a few months but a lot sticks with me such as the 5 why's, one page reports, and a few other things that might come in handy.
Having lived in Japan I am certainly sympathetic to this system and way of thinking but the book really helped clarify what I don't see in American and European companies & their McKinsey consultant masters."

The Toyota Way 14 Management Principles from the World Greatest Manufacturer Jeffrey K Liker Books Reviews
- A great book about the Toyota Way. If you read between the lines it's really not about the 14 principles but about people. People are a powerful resource. Treat people right, teach people to think, teach people to care, teach people to be passionate about what they believe in -- do all these things and you can build a great company. Oh, you may build a few cars along the way, too.
- Great book to either get you started on Lean methodologies or dive deep in to how Toyota uses Lean/Just-in-Time techniques that can apply to any industry (manufacturing, software, design...any industry that delivers a product can benefit from the concepts in this book). It is a bit lengthy and as the title indicates, this book is about the Toyota way--not specifically Lean or Six Sigma which are not the same as the Toyota way, though they are similar and use many of the same concepts.
- Absolutley an amazing book! This book has changed my mindset on continuos improvement. This gave me great insight into the operational excellence Toyota has and values! Defintely recommend this book to anyone in Operations Management & Manufacturing!
- a little too much Toyota Fan Boy at times, a bit repetitive, not much Japanese culture context (a lot traces back to this but it's not discussed) but a good read for a biz book. I can't remember the 14 principles after a few months but a lot sticks with me such as the 5 why's, one page reports, and a few other things that might come in handy.
Having lived in Japan I am certainly sympathetic to this system and way of thinking but the book really helped clarify what I don't see in American and European companies & their McKinsey consultant masters. - This book is clearly the complete guide to the origins, essence, and application of the Toyota Production System. I am glad I picked this up following the many positive reviews I read about it. The author is master story-teller, reading through the chapter made me feel like I was on the shop floor and witnessing Kaizen unfold in Toyota. Now, I am inspired more than ever that Kaizen really works!
- Excellent book! Very insightful and very easy to understand for a beginner. The author has done well to refrain from the use of complicated technical jargon and explain concepts in an straightforward manner. Highly recommended for anyone who's interested in any kind of efficiency in work!
- This book was extremely helpful and it explained the Toyota system in detail. I would recommend it highly if you’re serious about lean and understanding the details of what it takes to get lean implemented in your organization
- There is a good mix of examples of how the Toyota way is followed and how to implement. I am not all the way through the book yet, but even though it is primarily manufacturing-focused, I am getting a lot of ideas on how to use this in my service/utility setting.
