Powered by Honda

About the Book

The seminal book that began the lean revolution in manufacturing and supply management, Powered by Honda tells the story of what Honda does, and illustrates the BP process with stories, charts, photos, and other powerful methods that guarantee success. From the people on the floor who build the cars, to the suppliers who keep Honda lines running non-stop, and the managers who run the supply chains, you'll feel the Racing Spirit that powers the machine. Honda's global leadership position in profits, growth, and innovation was built on the principles in this book.
