Any specific books you would recommend?

Doing a quick search on Amazon I found: Toyota Production System: An Integrated Approach to Just-In-Time https://www.amazon.com/dp/143982097X/ref=sr_ob_1?ie=UTF8&qid...

Taiichi Ohnos Workplace Management: Special 100th Birthday Edition https://www.amazon.com/Taiichi-Ohnos-Workplace-Management-Bi...

The Toyota Mindset: The Ten Commandments of Taiichi Ohno https://www.amazon.com/Toyota-Mindset-Commandments-Taiichi-O...

There seem to be handful directly from Taiichi Ohno (including a management book), and then many that refer to him and his process. Guidance would be appreciated!

"The Toyota Way" http://a.co/d/eso4HOR might be the best example of a very easy to read book that explores the Toyota system in a practical ways.

It's full of a lot of anecdotes that really show how Toyota thinks in practice and isn't just a textbook you have to apply yourself.

There's also "The Machine That Changed the World":

Generally, anything auto manufacturing related works too.

Also:

"The Principles of Product Development Flow: Second Generation Lean Product Development"

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6278270-the-principles-o...

We see a lot of words written on "lean" software development but I feel like it's better to learn from broader sources, and from industries that have had a lot more regulation and time to develop good practices.
