Highlights include:

- An comprehensive view of Toyota's lean manufacturing system - A look at the origins and underlying principles of lean - Identifying the goals of lean production - Practical problem solving for lean production - Activities that support involvement - Kaizen circles, suggestion systems, and problem solving
