Is "Productivity Inc. and Press" same or different than "Productivity Inc."?
Subject line says it all. Similar question at Talk:Shigeo_Shingo. LP-mn (talk) 02:25, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Neutrality
If you have concerns about improving the objectivity of this biographical article, you may be interested to read responses to Jeffrey Liker's posts to the talk page for 2009–2011 Toyota vehicle recalls.

Use of Harada method to embed continuous improvement
Does Bodek claim employers use Harada to embed continuous improvement into workplace cultures? If yes, where? Are there any publications on the Harada Method (apart from blogs and other promotional web sites)? wcrosbie (talk), Melbourne, Australia 08:49, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Presumably Harada does in the 2012 translation of Harada's work by Keiko Morimoto, published by Bodek's PCS Press as The Harada Method Spirit of Self Reliance, the Human Side of Lean. Rorybowman (talk) 23:00, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
