Toyota
style is not to
create results by working hard. It is a system that says there is no
limit to people’s
creativity.
People don’t go to
Toyota

waste
is the waste we do not recognize.

invitation to do more – as an indication that we had reached a place
where we might begin to perform a real service. |

The most effective way to
improve productivity is
to eliminate work. |

of a pull system ... thus a half-hearted introduction of a pull system
brings a hundred harms and not a single gain. |
