Take advantage of your organization’s brainpower with Kata-driven continuous improvement “This is the first book I have read that provides a clear picture of what it takes to develop and mobilize creative capability across an organization, to achieve challenging goals.” Jeffrey K. Liker, author of The Toyota Way (from the Foreword) Nobody drives continuous improvement in real, tangible ways like Toyota, where everyone at every level works toward common, customer-related goals. At Toyota, continuous improvement is habitual. In his groundbreaking book Toyota Kata, Mike Rother revealed management practices that drive Toyota’s success in providing value to their customers. Now, Rother and coauthor Gerd Aulinger provide the routines and know-how for scaling these practices across your entire organization. It all builds on five simple foundational questions at every level: What is the target condition? What is the actual condition? What obstacles stand in the way of the target condition? What is the next step? What have you learned from taking that step? Illustrated cover to cover, Toyota Kata Culture helps you visualize exactly how these methods work—so you can start putting them into action right away. You’ll learn how to develop your own iterative process of trial and adjustment, build a deliberate, scientific-thinking culture that grows capability, and make aligned strategic continuous improvement part of everyday work. Achieve your goals and differentiate your organization by following the proven formula laid out in Toyota Kata Culture.

It is widely understood that Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution completely revolutionized the study of biology. Yet, according to David Sloan Wilson, the Darwinian revolution won’t be truly complete until it is applied more broadly—to everything associated with the words “human,” “culture,” and “policy.” In a series of engaging and insightful examples—from the breeding of hens to the timing of cataract surgeries to the organization of an automobile plant—Wilson shows how an evolutionary worldview provides a practical tool kit for understanding not only genetic evolution but also the fast-paced changes that are having an impact on our world and ourselves. What emerges is an incredibly empowering argument: If we can become wise managers of evolutionary processes, we can solve the problems of our age at all scales—from the efficacy of our groups to our well-being as individuals to our stewardship of the planet Earth.

Many production managers have de-stocked excessively large inventories, gone lean, experimented with continuous improvement processes and introduced new working practices. These interventions have largely failed. Businesses have also failed to invest in the workforce that undertakes improvements. This means that cash flow stops quickly, stocks are depleted to zero and customers lose confidence. Systems for Manufacturing Excellence looks at how people and technology work effectively together to generate high performance manufacturing and service operations. Not everyone is a Toyota but that does not mean we cannot learn from such businesses. The book will present a logic, variety of approaches and methods that underpin the different models of high performance used by 'world class' businesses. The authors use examples from their training with Toyota, work with Tesco, and many world class manufacturing businesses that form their research agenda. The book will help teams run each part of their production process for effectiveness and efficiency, with a high level of discipline that supports excellence in performance.

The most complex organization known in the universe is inside of our heads: our brain. Because organizations are formed by human beings, The Lean Brain Theory aims to mimic human brain structure and functionality so as to enable the emergence of brain-like organizations in which the 'neurons' are the human-beings and the 'axons' ought to be Lean Management oriented behavioral and communication patterns. These networks ought to evolve towards brain-like configurations that display thinking-like processes and ultimately organizational consciousness. The Lean Brain Theory offers a quantifiable holistic framework to strategically design any organization as a human brain. By embedding complexity into the Strategic Organizational Design (SOD) and combining this with Lean Management and neuropsychological state of the art knowledge, The Lean Brain Theory ends up with the Brain-Organization metaphor and makes it possible. This idea of embedding complexity into organizational design is a follow up to the book The Hoshin Kanri Forest. That book dealt with the methodology of creating 'forest-like' topologies. The Lean Brain Theory aims to set the ground for Lean organizations of the future that embrace both Business Intelligence and Complex Networked Lean Strategic Organizational Design. The organization as a super-network evolves towards 'intelligent' Human-Brain-like entity. The Lean Brain Theory ultimately seeks to integrate an anthropomorphic organizational paradigm with future tendencies of technological advances. In this way, the brain-like organization emerging from it can be regarded as bionic.

2016 Gewinner des SHINGO Forschung und berufliche VERÖFFENTLICHUNG AWARD, Entwicklung von Lean Führungskräfte auf allen Ebenen: A Practical Guide ist ein Management-Must Read.Die Lean Leadership Development Model (LLDM) in diesem Buch ist intuitiv, und deckt sich gut mit den anerkannten Grundsätzen der operativen Exzellenz. Es dehnt sich deutlich auf die Elemente der Lean, strukturieren sie in einer bestimmten Weise, die durch schlanke Praktiker operationalisiert werden kann.Sie können alles, was Sie über den Toyota-Weg wollen zu lernen; können Sie die Werkzeuge, die sie erstellt haben, zu implementieren, aber wenn Sie nicht über die in Ihrer Kultur etabliert Verhaltensweisen, wird es nicht erfolgreich für die langfristige Erhaltung der operativen Exzellenz sein. Führung muss die Rede von der geografischen Nordrichtung in jedem Aspekt des Lean Leadership Development Model (LLDM) zu Fuß, wie ausführlich von Dr. Liker in diesem letzten Shingo-Preis übermittelt Gewinnen buchen.Das Erfolgsgeheimnis von Toyota hinsichtlich der Entwicklung von Führungskräften haben Jeffrey Liker und Toyota-Veteran Gary Convis zum ersten Mal in ihrem Buch The Toyota Way to Lean Leadership gelüftet. Toyota-Führungskräfte leben die Unternehmenswerte, verbessern das Unternehmen kontinuierlich und können sich auf ein schnell veränderndes Umfeld einstellen.Für Toyota-Führungskräfte wird ein Kern-Set von Fähigkeiten vorausgesetzt. Dies zielt darauf ab, den richtigen Weg zu finden, um Wertschaffung für die Kunden zu verbessern - unabhängig für welchen Unternehmensbereich (Verkauf, Logistik, Personal, Fertigung, Forschung & Entwicklung, Finanzen). Dieser Prozess wird oftmals mit den Ergebnissen des Prozesses verwechselt, welche als Werkzeuge bei einer Toyota-Werksbesichtigung anschaulich werden. Das Phänomen eines jeden Toyota-Werkes ist, dass eine Kultur von Menschen geschaffen wird, die wohl durchdacht eine Methode des Definierens, der Analyse sowie der Problemlösung erlernt haben, um das Unternehmen weiter nach vorne zu bringen.
