Toyota Production System Concepts - The DNA of Toyota: What the Toyota Production System Is — and What It’s Not #746017

Most people think of TPS as a set of tools. But it's much more than that.
The Toyota Production System (TPS) is not just a framework for factories — it's a Thinking Production System rooted in leadership, purpose, and principles that drive excellence across any industry.
In this clear and insightful guide, Dr. Mohamed H. Soliman cuts through the misconceptions to show what TPS really is — and what it isn't.
You'll discover:

• Why TPS is a mindset, not a manual
• How TPS applies to any industry, not just automotive
• The principles and values that make up the Toyota Way
• Why stable processes and leadership are more important than tools
• How to avoid fake "Lean" that misses the heart of TPS

If you've only seen TPS as charts, kanban cards, and just-in-time tools — this book will transform your view.
TPS is not a toolset. It's a leadership philosophy for world-class thinking.
