Curious Cat Management Improvement Blog
OK, so it doesn't seem very lean for a blog to link to a blog that's linked to an article. But…. the Curious Cat blog is very much worth checking out for information about TPS and W. Edwards Deming. Plus, the Steven Spear interview (direct link here, if you must) is outstanding in terms of describing the Toyota Production System as a management system along the lines of the “Thinking Production System”, as Toyota people like to call it. TPS and lean are more than just doing 5S and Kanban.
