WOMACK'S YOKOTEN – On October 3, Toyota will cease its manufacturing operations in Australia, but the way it is managing the transition - in the leanest way possible - holds great lessons for us all. We all love a start-up. A world of opportunities where no mistakes have been made and no legacy assets hold us back. And in the Lean Community we love a lean start-up even more, with enhanced prospects for getting the product right and a chance to avoid introducing muda in any value-creating process.
