I really like the analysis in this podcast of how #TheToyotaProductionSystem is more efficient overall than #Taylorism because it optimizes labour value time for the entire system rather than for each individual worker. It's a great example of how #marxism offers abstractions over economics that demystify the process of production.

#208 The Toyota Production System w/ Donal
This week we have the first of a two-parter with my co-author Donal O’Coisdealbha on the Toyota Production System, and its implications for socialism. Donal has recently started a blog for those interested in the TPS and such topics as statistical process control, control systems engineering, operations research and management science, called 'The Office For Control Over Results'. (https://theofficeforcontroloverresults.wordpress.com/).
