Co-Evolution

"...integration (Stage 3) without factory-wide JIT (Stage 2), which required single-line success (Stage 1). Each stage built on previous. 3. Ecosystem co-evolution: TPS wasn't just Toyota. It required supplier evolution, worker training, engineering mindset shifts."

"...Answer incorrectly, and you waste effort resisting the inevitable or converging where differentiation would win. ::: In the next chapter, we explore co-evolution and arms races: when species don't evolve in isolation or toward fixed environments, but in response to each other, creating escalating cycles of ada..."
