     <title>The Secrets of Toyota&#039;s Success Revealed in a New Book by Dr. Shigeo Shingo</title>
     <link>http://www.prweb.com/releases/2007/11/prweb571461.htm</link><description>   <![CDATA[ <P>Once again Dr. Shigeo Shingo will amaze you. Along with Taiichi Ohno, Dr. Shingo co-developed TPS (LEAN) with his deep understanding of how to improve the overall process of production. Dr. Shingo reveals how he taught Toyota and other Japanese companies the art of identifying and solving problems. Many companies in the West are trying to emulate Lean but few can do it. Why not? Possibly, because we in the West do not recognize, develop and support the creative potential of every worker in solving problems. Toyota makes all employees problem solvers. Dr. Shingo gives you the tools to do it. (PRWeb Nov 27, 2007)</P>

     <title>Kaikaku The Power and Magic of Lean - A new book on Toyota's success through the development and practice of Lean manufacturing.  </title>
     <link>http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/06/prweb131341.htm</link><description>   <![CDATA[ <P>"Norman Bodek is the secret weapon of lean manufacturing. In his 59 trips to Japan, Norman met Shigeo Shingo, Taiichi Ohno and other architects of lean, then published their books in English and other languages. The story of his quest is amazing, and it's sprinkled with lessons for anyone interested in lean. Norman has launched a kaikaku - a great transformation in awareness and in actual business. The term (kaikaku) means much more that kaizen (process improvement). It is a large and fundamental change in policy, practice, or awareness. Reading Norman's reflections on his experience of the Toyota Production System will enrich your big picture perspective and help you discover the hidden treasures within your company: eliminating non-value adding wastes to bring out the creative capacity from every single worker." www.sme.org  (PRWeb Jun 8, 2004)</P>
