This book is outstanding. I initially thought it would be a quick read since the page count is short, but I found myself slowly savoring it. This book is like a good wine where you appreciate the textures and nuances if you take it slow.

I suggest this book to all Lean practitioners, most project managers, people who use data to understand problems and show improvements, people who like to draw, and anybody else that enjoys the thought process behind problem solving.

Binnen Toyota is iedereen getraind en doordrongen van de cultuur van continu verbeteren. Het PDCA principe (Plan, Do, Check, Act) is dan ook een van de belangrijkste elementen van de Toyota bedrijfscultuur.
Naast dit PDCA principe wordt een flexibel en zeer precies rapporteringssysteem gebruikt dat in alle opzichten getrouwd is met het PDCA proces.
Alle rapporten moeten en kunnen passen op één zijde van een A3 papier.
