Principle seven, use visual control so no problems are hidden. use simple visual indicators to help people determine immediately whether they are in a standard condition or deviating from it.

Even high level managers and executives should go and see things for themselves. So they will have more than a superficial understanding of the situation.
Principle 13 make decisions slowly by consensus thoroughly considering all options implement decisions rapidly. Do not take a single direction and go down that one path until you have thoroughly considered alternatives. When you have picked, move quickly, but cautiously down that path. Principle 14 become a learning organization through relentless reflection and continuous improvement. Kaizen Once you have established a stable process, use continuous improvement tools to determine the root cause of inefficiencies and apply effective countermeasures. Designed processes that require almost no inventory.
This will make wasted time and resources visible for all to see. Once waste is exposed, have employees use Kaizen to eliminate it. It is quite possible to use a variety of TPS tools and still be following only a select few of the Toyota v principles. The result will be short term jumps on performance measures that are not sustainable. On the other hand, an organization that truly practices the full set of Toyota v principles will be following TPS and on its way to a sustainable, competitive advantage. People had resigned themselves to certain problems had become hostage to routine and abandoned the practice of problem solving.
This going back to basics under Toyota production system under the governance of the Toyota V, exposing the real significance of problems, and then making fundamental improvements can be a significant differentiator to your organization's success.
