1). To Blitz or not to Blitz By : Malcolm Jones
‘Kaizen Blitz’ was brought to the West by Yoshiki Iwata, an ex-Toyota employee, who taught the Toyota Production System to Toyota’s suppliers. The Toyota learning approach is very experiential – Taiichi Ohno famously declined to discuss the theory of TPS with Shigeo Shingo – he was only interested in learning through application. The experiential model means that the learner is expected to follow the direction of the sensei, or master, and learn through the experience, until they are able to apply TPS principles themselves.
