TPS by Katsu is a learning platform dedicated to the Toyota Production System, Lean leadership, continuous improvement, and developing people. Founded by Katsujiro Watanabe, it helps leaders build organizations that learn faster and improve continuously.

The Toyota Production System is not a system for building better products. It is a system for developing people who build better products. Everything else is a consequence.

We develop leaders, coaches, and teams who can solve problems, develop others, and sustain continuous improvement through the principles of the Toyota Production System.
