Gill notes that many writers are taking Toyota's current troubles as
"proof" that their success of the last couple of decades was some
kind of sham. Those lean techniques still work. From my perspective, what got
Toyota in trouble was that it lost focus on them and started thinking about
getting bigger and bigger.
That particular post was inspired by an article written by University of Michigan School of Business professor Izak Duenyas for “The Business Thinker”. He argues that Toyota's current problems aren't because of "The Toyota Way", rather the problems are because the company lost its way.
