Media Reviews
"One of the most thought provoking manufacturing books anyone can read. It is filled with excellent improvement solutions that have wide potential application."
—Ken Stork, Past President, AME Target, June 2004 "Dr. Shingo's visit to our plant was significant in making breakthroughs in productivity which we previously thought were impossible. The benefits that we are receiving are more far-reaching than I had personally anticipated. Because of Dr. Shingo's direction, we have been able to reduce changeover time from 4 to 5 hours to an average of 2.5 to 4 minutes."
— Gifford M. Brown, Plant Manager, Cleveland Engine Plants, Ford Motor Company, June 2004
