The Personal Lean - Mohammed Hamed Ahmed Soliman

Many people don't understand the DNA of the Toyota Production System and the core values of the Toyota Way. I have seen many who think about TPS as a toolkit or lean manufacturing techniques that have worked with Toyota because Toyota has a different process, a stable environment, or a less fluctuation in customer demand. Some others believe that TPS works only with the automotive industry.

Truly, most organizations remain far away from establishing a solid continuous improvement system, and current management behavior rarely leads corporations to do what they should do in terms of both process and people management. Bad habits, behaviors done with little or no conscious thought, continue to affect culture and hold companies back from success.
