Toyota Production System

I regularly search at online bookstores for books that I use for my work. These can be six sigma books, lean manufacturing books, leadership books and some self-help books. I am happy I was able to purchase recently: Taiichi Ohno’s book on TPS and that of Henry Ford’s.

I am interested to know what is contained in Henry Ford’s book—as it is openly discussed that Ohno was actually first inspired by Henry Ford’s system. Also, they say that Ford actually started the lean production system. So hang in there, I will share my learnings of the 2 books.
