TL;DR: In this paper, Taiichi Ohno shares the genius that sets him apart as one of the most disciplined and creative thinkers of our time, and combines his candid insights with a rigorous analysis of Toyota's attempts at Lean production.
Abstract: In this classic text, Taiichi Ohno--inventor of the Toyota Production System and Lean manufacturing--shares the genius that sets him apart as one of the most disciplined and creative thinkers of our time. Combining his candid insights with a rigorous analysis of Toyota's attempts at Lean production, Ohno's book explains how Lean principles can improve any production endeavor. A historical and philosophical description of just-in-time and Lean manufacturing, this work is a must read for all students of human progress. On a more practical level, it continues to provide inspiration and instruction for those seeking to improve efficiency through the elimination of waste.

TL;DR: For example, the authors identifies the value stream, every step required to move a specific good or service from initial concept into the hands of the customer, and asks if each step really creates value Those that don't, the great majority are then removed, and the remaining steps are conducted in continuous flow at the pull of customer, as the firm manages toward perfection.
Abstract: Lean Thinking begins by helping listeners to identify value, asking, "What does the customer really want?" instead of "What can we try to convince the customer to accept?" Lean thinkers then identify the value stream -- every step required to move a specific good or service from initial concept into the hands of the customer -- for each product and ask if each step really creates value Those that don't -- the great majority -- are then removed, and the remaining steps are conducted in continuous flow at the pull of the customer, as the firm manages toward perfection As a consequence, lead times, costs of all sorts, and defects shrink, while responsiveness to customer needs and selling prices increase In an economic downturn, many companies are searching desperately for a sustainable formula for renewed growth and success Lean Thinking is that formula -- a proven blueprint and specific action plan that will help any company stabilize its position and grow steadily while better serving its customers, employees, suppliers, and investors

TL;DR: A cross‐functional approach means that the choice of tools to be used can be made from outside of traditional departmental boundaries, affording researchers and companies the opportunity to use the most appropriate tools rather than merely those that are well‐known in their function.
Abstract: Develops a new value stream or supply‐chain mapping typology. This seven‐map typology is based on the different wastes inherent in value streams. The use of the various tools, either singularly or in combination, is therefore driven by the types of waste to be removed. The tools themselves are drawn from a range of existing functional ghettos such as logistics, operations management and engineering. Maintains that two of the seven tools can be regarded as completely new. This cross‐functional approach means that the choice of tools to be used can be made from outside of traditional departmental boundaries, affording researchers and companies the opportunity to use the most appropriate tools rather than merely those that are well‐known in their function. Describes each tool briefly and gives a simple mechanism for choosing which is most appropriate to contingent situations.
