The Evolution of a Manufacturing System at Toyota
本书从历史视角分析丰田战后制造系统的演化，指出企业需结合理性组织与持续变革才能建立并维持竞争优势，适合对精益生产或企业战略感兴趣的读者。
Professor Takahiro Fujimoto, in his book ‘The Evolution of a Manufacturing System at Toyota,’ examines the entire postwar development of the systems that Toyota has used to become a dominant player in the automobile industry. That long-term historical view of a successful firm's development would be sufficient reason to pick up the book. The book's title does not indicate the important conceptual contribution that Fujimoto makes to our understanding of the evolution of systems within firms. He argues that only by combining a rational and orderly organization with a willingness to constantly consider change will a firm be able both to develop competitive advantage and sustain it.
