Employee Involvement: The Heart of Lean Production (PowerPoint PPTX Slide Deck)

Total Employee Involvement is the heart of the Toyota Production System (TPS), just like the wind that brings the sailboat to life. Employee Involvement should be managed as intensely as production and quality. Involvement includes all three segments of employees: Management, Workgroup and Individual.

Employee Involvement is the direct participation of staff to help an organization fulfil its mission and meet its objectives by applying their own ideas, expertise, and efforts towards solving problems and making decisions.
