This book is based on the unique experience of a person who implemented the principles of the Toyota Production System and lean manufacturing (lean) in Russian companies. Stanislav Logunov’s achievements, results, and missteps come together into an especially valuable portfolio of a visionary manager. He is convinced that the Toyota Production System and lean thinking are what can take Russian business to a fundamentally new level.
The author explains the key tools of these approaches and, in parallel, familiarizes the reader with 28 major books on lean thinking. In each review, the book separately examines how well the described ideas and methods truly work and how applicable they are to Russian conditions.
