The Toyota Kaizen Continuum: A Practical Guide to Implementing Lean offers authoritative insight into implementing the Toyota Production System (TPS) to drive operational value and improvement across an organization. Written by John Stewart, a recognized leader in the manufacturing industry with nearly two decades of experience working for Toyota, this book provides a firsthand account of the realities behind TPS implementation.

Stewart shares valuable lessons learned from his time at Toyota, including his experiences on the assembly line and as manager of the vehicle assembly division in the UK. He explains how to get started with TPS implementation, engage senior management, and execute change in any organization. The book includes real-world examples of TPS implementations and a five-step process for executing improvement initiatives.

With case studies illustrating successes and failures behind the scenes of one of the world's largest automobile manufacturing organizations, this guide provides the tools and understanding needed to implement and sustain a culture of continuous improvement in your organization.
