I sat down with my friend Phil Ledbetter, who worked at the Toyota plant in Kentucky for 16 years and is the author of The Toyota Template, to talk about the benefits of a pull system in manufacturing.

I read his book prior to its publication and it’s a very good summary of how various lean tools and practices, such as kanban and TPM work together to create a pull system that serves customers better, improves productivity and improves financial performance.
