• Norman Bodek, president of PCS Inc.  Norman Bodek discovered and published the works of the great Japanese manufacturing geniuses: Shigeo Shingo and Taiichi Ohno, the inventors of the Toyota Production System (using the just-in-time inventory system).

From his numerous trips to Japan he introduced to the Western world the kaizen blitz, single minute exchange of dies (SMED), total productive maintenance (TPM), quality function deployment (QFD), hoshin kanri, poka-yoke, visual factory, and other new manufacturing methodologies that have helped companies improve their quality and productivity. In 1988 he initiated the Shingo Prize for Manufacturing Excellence with Vern Buehler, professor at Utah State University. Most recently he co-authored a book with Bunji Tozawa titled The Idea Generator - Quick and Easy Kaizen (PCS Press, 2007).
