Product Description

The A3 report has proven to be a key tool In Toyota’s successful move toward organizational efficiency. The power of the A3 report, however, derives not from the report itself, but rather from the development of the dynamic culture required for the implementation of an A3 system. In Understanding A3 Thinking, the authors highlight the deep learning and professional development that occurs in the A3 process. They show that the report is an especially effective tool when implemented in conjunction with a PDCA-based management philosophy. The book includes some very practical advice on how to write and review A3 reports.

Customer Reviews

An excellent start to A3 thinking
Having just began the road to 'Lean', I have been facinated by this A3 approach to problem solving and reporting. I am an HR professional who has struggled in the past to find a way to report and present to senior managers with little time (and often interest!) - I think A3 is the way!
