Description of the Concept

• The world owes a great deal to Mr Taiichi Ohno. He has shown us how to manufacture more efficiently, reduce costs, produce greater quality, and also take an important look at how we as people work in a factory. (Ohno, Taiichi, 1978)

Description of the ConceptThe Toyota Production System was conceived with the principal objective

of producing many models in small quantities. This way, Toyota would fulfill its main goal of costs reduction.

Toyota Production System = elimination of waste.

TPS Main PillarsJIT = Just-In-Time

Autonomation

Just-In-Time: An Ideal State

In a a flow process, the right parts needed in assembly reach the assembly line at the time they are needed and only in the amount needed. A company establishing this flow throughout can approach zero inventory, which at the same time, reduces waste and costs.

Just-In-Time: An Ideal State

Traditional Approach

Supply materials from an earlier process to a later process

Toyota Reverse Approach

Providing that every link in the just-in-time chain is connected

and synchronized, a later process goes to an earlier process to pick

up only the right part in the quantity needed at the exact time

needed.

Autonomation; The Human Touch

on

•Autonomation refers to the situation in which machines can prevent technical problems “autonomously

Human

Touch

•The worker can stop the machine whenever there is a defective production. As a result, one worker can attend several machines, making it possible to reduce the number of operators and increase production efficiency.

Multi-Skills

•Thus; An operator must develop skills for operating several machines in order to reach optimal efficiency.
