Editing Toyota Production System (section)

==''Workplace Management''==
Taiichi Ohno's ''Workplace Management'' (2007) outlines in 38 chapters how to implement the TPS. Some important concepts are:
* Chapter 1 ''Wise Mend Their Ways'' - See the [[Analects of Confucius]] for further information.
* Chapter 4 ''Confirm Failures With Your Own Eyes'' 
* Chapter 11 ''Wasted Motion Is Not Work''
* Chapter 15 ''Just In Time'' - Phrase invented by Kiichiro Toyoda - the first president of Toyota. There is conflict on what the actual English translation of what "just in time" really means. Taiichi Ohno quoted from the book says " 'Just In Time' should be interpreted to mean that it is a problem when parts are delivered too early".<ref name = workplace-management>Ohno, Taiichi  (2007), ''Workplace Management''.

* Chapter 23 ''How To Produce At A Lower Cost'' - "One of the main fundamentals of the Toyota System is to make 'what you need, in the amount you need, by the time you need it', but to tell the truth there is another part to this and that is 'at lower cost'.  But that part is not written down."<ref name = workplace-management /> World economies, events, and each individual job also play a part in production specifics.
