The classic, nationally bestselling book that first articulated the principles of lean production, with a new foreword and afterword by the authors.

When The Machine That Changed the World was once first published in 1990, Toyota was once half the size of General Motors. Two decades later Toyota passed GM as the world’s largest auto maker. This management classic was once the first book to reveal Toyota’s lean production system that may be the basis for its enduring success.

Authors Womack, Jones, and Roos provided a comprehensive description of all the lean system. They exhaustively documented its advantages over the mass production model pioneered by General Motors and predicted that lean production would in the end triumph. Indeed, they argued that it might triumph not just in manufacturing but in each and every value-creating activity from health care to retail to distribution.

Today The Machine That Changed the World provides enduring and very important guidance to managers and leaders in each and every industry in the hunt for to become traditional enterprises into exemplars of lean success.
