This book analyzes the purpose and relationship between the different elements of the Toyota Production System (TPS) and how they add up to an economic system rather than just a production system that brings engineering and managerial solutions to businesses. It argues how TPS can be viewed as a science as opposed to a tool-based technique and an add-on to the current production system.

Our society faces unprecedented economic, social, and environmental challenges. Thankfully, TPS offers solutions. These solutions are born out of Toyota’s dissatisfaction with simple cost-benefit analyses and trade-offs. It challenges the antiquated model of economies of scale and radical individual asset efficiency. The Toyota Production System offers technical and managerial innovations that eliminate pre-existing financial, socio-economic, and environmental contradictions. The result is congruency between several factors and agents of our society that have conflicted in the past.
