Lean Training and Coaching : TWI and the Toyota Improvement Kata

Bridging the kata/TWI nexus, this book details a roadmap for Lean success. It presents many of the disjointed Lean practices and explains why the mix of kata and TWI is a successful recipe for continuous improvement. After introducing kata, the authors reveal the many katas inherent in the three major TWI courses and the TWI Job Safety course. The text covers such Lean concepts as gemba walks, PDCA, reflection, proper coaching, grasping the situation, and digging deeply. Listen to what Pat Boutier has to say about The Seven Kata.
