The book explores the Toyota Production System (TPS) as a science that offers solutions to economic, social, and environmental challenges. It challenges the traditional model of economies of scale and individual asset efficiency, offering technical and managerial innovations that eliminate contradictions. TPS creates congruency between income statements and cash flow, reconciles creativity with industrial work, and reduces conflicts between economic growth and environmental stewardship. It brings financial, social, and environmental benefits to corporations, workers, and society, making it measurable, repeatable, and valuable for broader economic applications.
