Newest Kaizen Book — by Shigeo Shingo

November 13th, 2007 by Hal

This is not a book review. That will come later. I'm only sharing the news that there is a new Shigeo Shingo book: kaizen and the Art of Creative Thinking. Norman Bodek gave me the chance to review an early version of the book. I'm quite impressed. I've wondered for quite some time if there is a systematic behind Toyota's success other than PDCA. We now all know the answer. Shingo developed an approach that helps everyone to be more creative. And that approach is readily learned.

Norman writes,

"Many companies in the West are trying to emulate Lean but few can do it. Why not? Possibly, because we in the West do not recognize, develop and support the creative potential of every worker in solving problems. Toyota makes all employees problem solvers. Shingo gives you the tools to do it."

Want a free copy? Not only is the publisher giving you that opportunity, but you have the chance of a 2-day visit from Norman Bodek. Enter the Shingo Sweepstakes.
