"Steve is a real sensei ... When Steve writes about the TPS house it is not just an
abstraction. It is something he lives."
- Jeffrey K. Liker, author of The Toyota Way
In this Shingo Prize winning volume, the author, a Toyota-trained expert, employs
memorable stories from his own learning experiences to teach Toyota Production
System principles. Organized according to the Toyota House model of Lean, each story is complemented by
questions that encourage the reader to reflect on how each principle applies in their own business, process,
or life.
