Toyota's Early History
via Got Boondogle:
Look interesting, so I went on amazon.com and Quest for the Dawn by Shoji Kimoto was available for $1, through a 3rd party, plus $3.49 shipping. I really like many of the things the internet makes easy.
And relating to the zero defects post earlier today. I never thought of it as a defect when I couldn't order an obscure book, in a minute or two, from home and have it delivered to me. Deming was right that: "Absence of defects does not necessarily build business... Something more is required."
A book that I recently finished is "Quest for the Dawn" by Shoji Kimoto. "Quest for the Dawn" is a fascinating true story set from about 1930 to the mid 1950s of a bold business quest to build an automobile from the ground up. The relentless inventors were Sakichi and Kiichiro Toyoda and, of course, the car manufacturer was the Toyota Motor Company.
