Lean Blog Interviews — 90: Tim Turner, Toyota Kentucky

Podcast #90 features Tim Turner, a team leader at Toyota’s factory in Georgetown Kentucky (aka TMMK or Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky). He is the author, along with a team of co-workers, of the new book called “One Team On All Levels: The Story Of The Toyota Team Members,” available through Amazon.com. In the podcast, we discuss the book and the culture of teamwork at Toyota. Tim also comments on his reaction (and his colleagues’) to Toyota’s recent quality problems and the resulting bad publicity.
