This week’s edition of This American Life is a must listen treat for everyone in our industry. I am very saddened by the news that Toyota’s joint venture with General Motors, the NUMMI facility in California, recently closed. Ira Glass takes a detailed look inside NUMMI, and examines what happened there, and why GM did not deploy the lessons learned. Please take advantage of the free mp3.
As I have formally studied the Toyota Production System, I have often wondered why more companies have not taken advantage Toyota’s free gifts to the industry. Here at Aimtron, we continuously examine our process, and rely heavily on Teamwork. I am thankful for Toyota being so open with their ideas, and hope you can learn as well.
