Managing the IE (Industrial Engineering) Mindset: A quantitative investigation of Toyota’s practical thinking shared among employees
Abstract: Purpose: The goal of
this work was to investigate the managerial practices of today to understand if
Toyota is sheltering themselves from these newer practices or embracing them
like most believe.
Design/methodology/approach: This work utilizes a new form of data mining
named Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) to analyze an organizations ideal
management practices.
Findings: This work shows quantitatively that TPS favors earlier versions
of industrial engineering compared to the optimization techniques available
today.
Originality/value: The use of data mining to analyze organizational
management practices.
Keywords: Toyota Production
