Look for Part 2 of my interview with Norm Bodek, coming later today. I've enjoyed his recent book, Kaikaku. It's written as a series of essays and short vignettes, very powerful stuff, especially Mr. Bodek's writing about working with the originators of the Toyota Production System. I should pick up on my original idea of posting thought-provoking quotes from the book, here is where I started that back in May.
