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.

仔細讀瞭這本書,太贊瞭!! 1. 研究分析方法值得學習:這是一個學術研究的交付物,整個研究過程中方嚮選擇,落實方法都值得學習; 2. 觀點到現在也不落後:說到底,大規模生産和精益的核心差彆之一在於共生集團內部各方如何對待其他共生集團內部的成員,是建立在互不信任,...
評分關於精益企業的很好的一份調研報告,對於考慮企業經營的人來說,非常值得一看,知道我們的來路,纔能好好的思考我們的前路。 這本書的第一部分是總述,標準的谘詢項目的寫法。 第二部分講瞭精益生産的産生,從最初的單件生産講起,到大批量生産,然後到瞭精...
評分經典書籍,如雷貫耳,但一直沒讀過,因為買不到。有幸公司圖書館藏有此書,於是有機會捧著實體書讀一讀。這本書第一次將TPS豐田生産方式總結為精益生産的理論提齣,將這種生産模式跟福特的大量生産方式相對比,用豐田的成功來證明這是生産方式的一次革命。可以說,這本書在1990...
評分窮則變,變則通。當年日本窮的隻剩下人瞭。於是發明瞭精益製造,發揮瞭人的最大潛力。精益製造,其實是日本精神放在瞭製造裏麵。同樣大量製造是很美國的模式。 有兩點想記下來,一是反省的力量,五個為什麼,也是精益的核心之一 二是,我覺得製造的過程和燒菜是一樣的 豐田是...
評分本書從曆史起源及日美企業的學習與競爭中闡述瞭豐田式精益生産的思想是如何在世界範圍內擴散的。 從日本到美國,再到歐洲為什麼沒有擴散成,都有一些解釋。精益發源於日本,但是在與美國企業的競爭和學習閤作中發展壯大的。在所有學習豐田式精益的美國企業中,最廣為人知的是非...

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。
