Question I'm interested too...

Toshira...? I have heard something similar, but don't know what it is. Anyway, I'm interested in anything concerning problem solving.

Default Is this real?

You guys (He says in a non-gender specific manner) must be nuts! I tried the search and I'm not sure I could read the titles, let alone the material. It sounds to me like this is almost exclusively mathamatics, and like the simple country boy I am, If I have to take off my shoes to count I'm in trouble.

I did the google search too. I haven't given up yet, but it looked like alot of papers by various Toshira's that solved problems and their project was written up. I may have the name wrong. I was hoping it was a known process like 6S, or something being used in Japan.

I'll let you know what I find out.
