Product Description

This title is winner of the 2003 Shingo Prize! This classic, authored by the world's most famous automaker, reveals the thinking that changed the industry forever. First published in 1926 and long out of print, the book had been largely forgotten. Yet Ford's ideas have never stopped having an impact; even Taiichi Ohno acknowledged that a key stimulus to JIT was his close reading of this book. Today, these same ideas are re-emerging to revitalize American industry in new ways.While our fascination with contemporary business leaders continues, Henry Ford deserves a fresh look. Here is the man who doubled wages, cut the price of a car in half, and produced over 2 million units a year. Time has not diminished the progressiveness of his business philosophy, or his profound influence on worldwide industry. You will be enlightened by what you read and intrigued by the words of this colorful and remarkable man. The 2003 printing of "Today and Tomorrow" features a new introduction by James J. Padilla, Group Vice President, Ford North America. It also includes an enhanced selection of photos illustrating the processes and facilities Ford covers in the text as well as an updated chronology of the Ford Motor Company.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great business book. A must read for every manager., 22 Jan 1999

By A Customer

Henry Ford knew it all! From leadership, dreams, vision & human motivations to JIT manufacturing and self directed teams, Henry Ford is teaching us how truly honest and customer oriented business generates human accomplishment and leads to a better society. It shows in a simple and well structured way why U.S.A. rose to their current world leading status, and demonstrates that this achievement is directly related to sound business practices. It proves that the only viable business is serving the customer. It shows that wealth can flourish from elimination of waste in all forms. It reminds all "business" men that true long-term success can only be founded on successful long-term visions and that the true purpose of business is to make whole nations wealthier rather than just few individuals rich. It proves that profitable business should centre on humans, not money. A GREAT BOOK back when "today" was in 1926, and still a great book today on the edge of the third millenary!
