Lean and Toyota Quotes
- “If you are going to do TPS (Toyota Production System) you must do it all the way. You also need to change the way you think. You need to change how you look at things.” ~Taiichi Ohno
- “Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good. It’s the thing you do that makes you good.” ~Malcolm Gladwell
- “A bad system will beat a good person every time.” ~W. Edwards Deming
- “Time waste differs from material waste in that there can be no salvage. The easiest of all wastes and the hardest to correct is the waste of time, because wasted time does not litter the floor like wasted material.” ~Henry Ford
- “For much of Toyota’s history, we have ensured the quality and reliability of our vehicles by placing a device called an andon cord on every production line – and empowering any team member to halt production if there’s an assembly problem. Only when the problem is resolved does the line begin to move again.” ~Akio Toyoda.
- “Nature does constant value stream mapping — it’s called evolution.” ~Carrie Latet
- “Continuous improvement is not about the things you do well — that’s work. Continuous improvement is about removing the things that get in the way of your work. The headaches, the things that slow you down, that’s what continuous improvement is all about.” ~Bruce Hamilton
- “When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves.” ~Anthony J. D’Angelo
- “Waste is worse than loss. The time is coming when every person who lays claim to ability will keep the question of waste before him constantly. The scope of thrift is limitless.” ~Thomas A. Edison
