From Lean Production To Lean E

WOMACK

The classic, nationally bestselling book that first articulated the principles of lean production, with a new foreword and afterword by the authors.When The Machine That Changed the World was first published in 1990, Toyota was half the size of General Motors. Twenty years later Toyota passed GM as the world’s largest auto maker. This management classic was the first book to reveal Toyota’s lean production system that is the basis for its enduring success. Authors Womack, Jones, and Roos provided a comprehensive description of the entire lean system. They exhaustively documented its advantages over the mass production model pioneered by General Motors and predicted that lean production would eventually triumph. Indeed, they argued that it would triumph not just in manufacturing but in every value-creating activity from health care to retail to distribution. Today The Machine That Changed the World provides enduring and essential guidance to managers and leaders in every industry seeking to transform traditional enterprises into exemplars of lean success.

Peter Womack's rereading of Ben Jonson applies Bahktin's conception of language as divided against itself - the condition for, and object of, the illusions and devices of theatre and carnival, characters and scripts, roles and gestures. In this book the author shows up the rifts and contradictions in Jonson's theatrical style, rooted squarely in the contemporary political circumstances of theatrical production. Peter Womack goes on to show how Bahktin's views of language, theatre, and culture shed light on Jonson's position as a writer at odds with his means of production.
