Decoding the DNA of the Toyota Production System
This classic article is published by Harvard Business Review. It will give your organization a basic understanding of Toyota's culture.

Creating Lean Leaders
The key element in transforming an organization from traditional to Lean is leadership. Lean organizations are not just traditionally run organizations that operate more effectively than in the past. They are radically different in structure, methods and day-to-day management. The dramatic transformation from traditional to Lean, even if done in a deliberate, planned manner, requires transformational leadership at all levels, from office to shop floor, to executive suite.

Office Kaizen
This white paper describes the Office Kaizen approach to systematically creating a culture of effective communication, proactive issue resolution, waste elimination, and continuous improvement. While the paper describes Office Kaizen as a structured initiative, the objective of a successful Office Kaizen implementation is an installation of the structure and behaviors required to sustain continuous improvement.

WIn-Lean® Manufacturing - Basics of Lean Manufacturing
Lean manufacturing has become synonymous with world-class operational excellence. Under various names (Lean, synchronous, pull, demand flow, flexible, cellular, just-in-time, one-by-one), Lean is the single most powerful strategy for improving a production operation's competitiveness. This White Paper is directed at organizations that are either eager Lean practitioners or those who have not yet had a Lean awakening in their organization. Both will find value in its explanation of the foundations and basic mechanics of Lean.
