When The Machine That Changed the World was first published in 1990, Toyota was half the size of General Motors. Today Toyota is passing GM as the world’s largest auto maker and is the most consistently successful global enterprise of the past fifty years. This management classic was the first book to reveal Toyota’s lean production system that is the basis for its enduring success.Now reissued with a new Foreword and Afterword, Machine contrasts two fundamentally different business systems -- lean versus mass, two very different ways of thinking about how humans work together to c

"ONE ANOTHER’S BURDENS MOVES BRISKLY...FAIRLY BURNS WITH CREATIVE ENERGY." --Diane Cavazos, www.riverbooks.com "Moving right along and maybe it’s the liquor talking. Maybe it’s that old Stones’ song Dead Flowers playing on the jukebox right this second that makes me have a lonely, longing feeling for your mother and you in some sort of way. Take me down Little Susie. Take me down! I guess it’s just the fact that we shared a love for so many gorgeous jukeboxes all over this town and the soulful tunes they played. I hope you’ll have the same affinity someday

This edition of The Pronunciation of English incorporates the final results of Daniel Jones’ lifelong study of English pronunciation usage. The book is the standard work on English phonetics and the name of its author will, in the words of Professor A. C. Gimson, ’remain in linguistic history as the great authority on the pronunciation of British English in the twentieth century’. The Pronunciation of English was written originally as a detailed description of the phonetics of English, presented from the point of vew of the native English-speaking student. However, it soon es

Expanded, updated, and more relevant than ever, the bestselling business classic by two internationally renowned management theorists shows how companies of any size in any industry can seize opportunities in the post-bubble economy. Lean Thinking begins by helping listeners to identify value, asking, "What does the customer really want?" instead of "What can we try to convince the customer to accept?" Lean thinkers then identify the value stream -- every step required to move a specific good or service from initial concept into the hands of the customer -- for each product and ask if each s

Winner of the 2003 Shingo Prize!By identifying all the steps and time required to move a typical product from raw materials to finished goods, the authors show that nearly 90 percent of the actions and 99.99 percent of the time required for the value chain’s Current State create no value. In addition, the mapping method clearly shows demand amplification of orders as they travel up the value stream, steadily growing quality problems, and steadily deteriorating shipping performance at every point up stream from the customer.The mapping methodology takes managers step-by-step through an im
