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.

评分 评分仔细读了这本书,太赞了!! 1. 研究分析方法值得学习:这是一个学术研究的交付物,整个研究过程中方向选择,落实方法都值得学习; 2. 观点到现在也不落后:说到底,大规模生产和精益的核心差别之一在于共生集团内部各方如何对待其他共生集团内部的成员,是建立在互不信任,...
评分经典书籍,如雷贯耳,但一直没读过,因为买不到。有幸公司图书馆藏有此书,于是有机会捧着实体书读一读。这本书第一次将TPS丰田生产方式总结为精益生产的理论提出,将这种生产模式跟福特的大量生产方式相对比,用丰田的成功来证明这是生产方式的一次革命。可以说,这本书在1990...

评分toyota的前世今生,一本书清晰讲明白lean production,做case study正好在读到5S,wikipedia+这本书=简单粗暴理解精益。
评分2009年修订版,在书的最后又回顾了90年代“至今”的发展历程,是对整本书很好的补充。书里并没有详细介绍如何从规模生产切换到精益生产,作者说:想知道吗?我还写了其它两本书专门介绍这个,等你来买哟~
