B. Getting Started

This appendix describes how to get started with the TSP. As shown in Figure B.1, it describes the first steps needed to introduce the TSP and to motivate your knowledge-working teams to consistently follow the TSP process. Experience shows that they will then produce quality products on their planned schedules and for their committed costs.
