TPS = Toyota Production System?

[UNCjigga]

Every time I read that acronym in this article I laugh. Damned movie and those TPS reports!

Some gems from "Learning to Lead at Toyota" [Steven J. Spear, HBR May 2004]:

"he learned TPS the long, hard way"

"a talented young American was initiated into the TPS"

"the difference with TPS--and this is key--is that it seeks to fully understand both the problem and the solution"

"TPS is a system you have to live to fully understand"

I always think of 'throttle position sensor', so that kind of kills it for me :-/

i actually went to a TPS presentation over at Numi in Fremont CA. Very interesting, there are a couple of books out there that you can get if you want to learn more about it.

At work we have a report TPR. Close enough to make me chuckle
