Finally I understand why copying lean tools alone failed for my team.
This book finally explained why my company's lean tools failed. Liker shows that copying tools without building a culture of respect and long-term vision is useless. The real issue isn't the methods themselves, but the lack of trust in employees. Without empowering workers to stop the line and solve root causes, any improvement is just a temporary fix that collapses under pressure. I now understand that sustainable excellence requires a dual helix of philosophy and process, not just shiny new gadgets on the factory floor.
