Management expert James P. Womack, Ph.D., is the founder and senior advisor to the Lean Enterprise Institute, Inc., a nonprofit training, publishing, conference, and management research company chartered in August 1997 to advance a set of ideas known as lean production and lean thinking, based initially on Toyota's business system and now being extended to an entire lean management system.
The intellectual basis for the Cambridge, MA-based Institute is described in a series of books and articles co-authored by Womack and Daniel Jones over the past 20 years. The most widely known books are: The Machine That Changed the World (Macmillan/Rawson Associates, 1990), Lean Thinking (Simon & Schuster, 1996), Lean Solutions (Simon & Schuster, 2005), and Seeing The Whole Value Stream (Lean Enterprise Institute, 2011). Articles include: "From Lean Production to the Lean Enterprise" (Harvard Business Review, March-April, 1994), "Beyond Toyota: How to Root Out Waste and Pursue Perfection" (Harvard Business Review, September-October, 1996), "Lean Consumption" (Harvard Business Review, March-April, 2005).
Womack received a B.A. in political science from the University of Chicago in 1970, a master's degree in transportation systems from Harvard in 1975, and a Ph.D. in political science from MIT in 1982 (for a dissertation on comparative industrial policy in the U.S., Germany, and Japan). During the period 1975-1991, he was a full-time research scientist at MIT directing a series of comparative studies of world manufacturing practices. As research director of MIT's International Motor Vehicle Program, Womack led the research team that coined the term "lean production" to describe Toyota's business system.
Womack served as the Institute's chairman and CEO from 1997 until 2010 when he was succeeded by John Shook.

When The Machine That Changed the World was first published in 1990, Toyota was half the size of General Motors. Today Toyota is passing GM as the world's largest auto maker and is the most consistently successful global enterprise of the past fifty years. This management classic was the first book to reveal Toyota's lean production system that is the basis for its enduring success. Now reissued with a new Foreword and Afterword, Machine contrasts two fundamentally different business systems -- lean versus mass, two very different ways of thinking about how humans work together to create value. Based on the largest and most thorough study ever undertaken of any industry -- MIT's five-year, fourteen-country International Motor Vehicle Program -- this book describes the entire managerial system of lean production. Nearly twenty years ago, Womack, Jones, and Roos provided a comprehensive description of the entire lean system. They exhaustively documented its advantages over the mass production model pioneered by General Motors and predicted that lean production would eventually triumph. Indeed, they argued that it would triumph not just in manufacturing but in every value-creating activity from health care to retail to distribution. Today The Machine That Changed the World provides enduring and essential guidance to managers and leaders in every industry seeking to transform traditional enterprises into exemplars of lean success.

評分本书从历史起源及日美企业的学习与竞争中阐述了丰田式精益生产的思想是如何在世界范围内扩散的。 从日本到美国,再到欧洲为什么没有扩散成,都有一些解释。精益发源于日本,但是在与美国企业的竞争和学习合作中发展壮大的。在所有学习丰田式精益的美国企业中,最广为人知的是非...
評分 評分书内容似乎老了点,大概是作者们对上世界八、九十年代的对汽车 行业和精益制造研究的成果。现在已经过去快二十年了,不知道现在的 真正制造业管理又发生了多大变化。 这边书还没完全看完,不过我把前言部分着实好好看了下,感觉国 外的学术研究氛围还真不是...
Theories of Capitalism這門課到這一周,齣現瞭金融和實體經濟運作需要分開論述的情況,因為東方齣現瞭新型生産模式。老師本人有參與的一個項目,全麵考察瞭1980年代末擴散至全球的日本式精益生産模式,從原料供應、産品設計、流水綫管理到成品銷售方麵優於西方大工廠生産體係的方方麵麵。由於項目參與者主要是産業組織和管理專傢,及業界人士,對組織管理體係方麵的細節描述幾乎巨細無遺,乃至統計齣當時世界各大車廠的生産效率,令人咋舌。不過在政治及金融方麵的implication論述較少。我比較感興趣的是精益生産在西方落地是否會對金融和投資體係産生一定的影響,及精益生産中工會的地位,不過作者除瞭推介日本式財團控股和雇傭關係在保持靈活性、維持資金穩定和提高員工士氣上的優點外,彆無太多論述。
评分toyota的前世今生,一本書清晰講明白lean production,做case study正好在讀到5S,wikipedia+這本書=簡單粗暴理解精益。
