What if your team could stop problems the moment they begin — or even before?
That's the power of Andon, one of Toyota's simplest and most powerful Lean tools.

In this focused and practical guide, Dr. Mohamed H. Soliman explains what Andon truly means in a Lean environment — far beyond blinking lights or alarm cords.

You'll learn:

  • What Andon is — and what it's not
  • How it empowers workers to speak up and take action
  • How Toyota uses Andon to build a culture of immediate problem-solving
  • The role of visual management in Lean success
  • Practical steps to implement Andon in your factory or service system
  • This book goes beyond definitions and dives into the real reason why Andon matters — not just as a tool, but as a mindset of responsiveness, respect, and continuous improvement.

    Discover how a simple signal can unlock world-class quality and teamwork.
