John Shook, lean guru and former Toyota manager, speaks at the IW Best Plants Conference

Learn from John Shook, who was the first American manager at Toyota's operations in Japan! You'll hear why Lean leadership is the key in implementing Lean methodologies successfully. During this keynote, Shook demonstrates how to spread the Lean culture throughout your organization, and why you as a leader are responsible for Lean's success or failure.
You'll see and hear:
Why mastery of the tools of Lean production is necessary (but not sufficient) for leaders
How the "right" leadership style supports Lean transformation
Best practices and advice from the NUMMI collaboration
What TPS really should stand for (and why)
About "Go See", "Ask Why", and "Show Respect"
Shook's take on the current state of the economy, and how it affects Lean
and more

Great speech. I work as quality professional and I always struggle to help people who does not own their process, yet blame others for their own performance. The do not accept advice yet, they need help ! Dictators and screaming for help in the same time ! This speech sum it all....Thank you,

Thanks a lot mr. john, I'm Cost Accountant and now a student of TPM because i want to control the cost instead of calculating cost. While searching, by chance see your lecture on youtube, before listening i have a little headache but when i start to listen you, by the time being i got myself fresh. Really fantastic ............!

That was an excellent presentation by John Shook. I have had 17yrs experience at Toyota Aust, been trained in Japan & Thailand in problem solving and have learned much about the Toyota Production System & how it really works. Johns observation, anecdotes and careful (but succinct) delivery elaborates clearly on what TPS is about. This is worth watching. Thanks John

Things you can not learn from Commercialized TPS !

[@MasterMind-ke3di]

Almost an hour and ten minutes and the "lean" guy hardly said anything useful. How about next time making a lean version, get to the point, gee wiz... terrible lead time on the information.
