Kanban and exactly on Toyota on time: management begins at the workplace. 5th edition

The book that you hold in your hands is one of the most readable production publications in Japan. The book was based on training materials prepared by Toyota specialists for seminars on the Toyota production system, which took place in the mid-1970s. A lot of time has passed since then, but a book that has repeatedly reprinted, including in English, still serves as a brief guide to reduce production costs around the world. The Kanban and “Exactly on time” systems - two methods of production and reserves used as part of the Toyota production system - help to find the best ways to increase the productivity of the process and product quality.

The book is intended for managers seeking to reduce production losses and improve the production system of their company. It is of interest to managers of all levels and will be interesting to students whose specialty lies in the field of production and service sector.
