This site is aimed at providing interested parties with basic
information pertaining to the topic of A3 Thinking and the Toyota
Production System. Professor Durward Sobek of Montana State University
and
former Toyota Motor Corporation employee Art Smalley teamed up to write
a book on this ground breaking topic called A3 Thinking. We realize
that reading alone
will never substitute for "hands on" learning. However through this
site we
hope you will find some useful information as well as ways to increase
your knowledge and skill
level. Check back from time to time and we'll provide some updates on
our respective field work and research via the A3
Thinking Blog. Also feel
free to submit questions for our FAQ page or contact the authors. As
time allows we will get back to your questions as
best we possibly can.
