Toyota Production System Toyota Production System (TPS) is a collection of best know:
Business philosophies Operating principles Tools and Methodologies Leadership style
which are proven and are logically connected. When properly used and applied they will lead any Company to
higher profits, greater business success, stability, growth and profitability
Lean Manufacturing, which is based on TPS, suggests a way of managing and operating your business:
Anywhere in the World Any size and any type of business

Sakichi invents the Toyoda Power Loom
1890
1896
Sakichi Toyoda invented the wooden Toyoda handloom that improves efficiency in weaving
Sakichi slowly develops a variety of patents on devices on looms including the auto stop “Jidoka” feature for thread breakage and a non-stop changeover feature on the shuttle part of the loom. In total it includes 24 different patents. After 1921 the majority of the patents and improvements are actually created by Kiichiro Toyoda the son of Sakichi.
1902 - 1924

Kiichiro Toyoda returns to Japan from Britain and begins initial study and development of gasoline internal combustion engines.
Production Toyoda Model AA Sedan, AB phaeton, and GA truck announced
1929
1930
Kiichiro Toyoda again visits the U.S. and tours American textile and loom manufacturing companies such as Draper & Compton, and Knowles among others. He further observes the emerging U.S. auto industry.
Sale of the patent rights to the G-Type Auto Loom to Platt Brothers in England is initially negotiated for the sum of £100,000 pounds. This amount provides some seed money for the experiments leading to engine development and the automotive department within Toyoda Auto Loom

An automobile department formally established within the Toyoda Auto Loom Company.
1931 - 1932
1933
Kiichiro Toyoda initiates the collection of precision machine tools from Germany and the U.S. that will be necessary to support automotive production.
Initial development work and a formal prototype engine is produced in 1933. The engine is based off a Chevrolet design.

Toyota Motor Corporation is officially established. Kiichiro Toyoda is President.
A new factory is built in Koromo, Japan (present day Toyota City) about 30 minutes outside city of Nagoya.
A 10 centimeter thick document authored by Kiichiro is used to layout the factory, the process flow, and provides a basis for training the workers in the new flow style of production. Eiji later calls this document in writing “The Roots of TPS”.
Kiichiro decrees that internal production and procurement should be done “Just-in-Time” to avoid wasting materials.
1936
1937 The first prototype vehicles are completed by Toyoda in 1936.

Toyoda Machine Works is established to specialize in the manufacture of machine tools, jigs, fixtures and other devices for Toyota Motor Company.
Eiji Toyoda has Taiichi Ohno join him in the complex machine shops of the company (engine, transmission, and chassis) to begin making improvements again now that the war has ended.

1947 - 1949 Taiichi Ohno promoted to machine shop manager. Machining shop areas designated as a model shop in the company.
Internally it is referred to as the “Ohno Line”. Rearrangement of machines from process flow to product flow is piloted.
End of one man one machine. Start of multi process handling begins with L, U, and I shaped lines in machining. Inspiration was mainly the fact that one person could operate 24-36 auto looms in other facilities.
Detail studies of individual processes and cycle times are conducted by Taiichi Ohno and staff. Time study and motion analysis are conducted as well.
Reduction of work in process inventory begins in earnest. In-process inspection by workers is adopted as a policy. Line stop authority to workers is granted as well.

1950 After WWII Japan experiencing a crisis in product quality. Japanese
goods were thought to be cheap, easily broken and in general extremely poor quality.
Economic depression and decline in sales triggers a financial crisis in the company and labor disputes are frequent with work stoppages. The crisis eventually results in a consortium of banks loaning Toyota money but requiring a restructuring plan and reduction in work force. As a result 2146 people or about one third of the company lose their jobs. Kiichiro Toyoda steps down as President to accept responsibility
Financial crisis / Labor dispute - Voluntary retirements. Shoichiro Toyoda resigns as a President of Toyota. Eiji Toyoda becomes the new President.
Toyota being on the edge of bankruptcy forces the company to re-visit how they conduct business
Start of Korean war saves Toyota. Taiichi Ohno is send to Detroit

1951 Eiji Toyoda tours the U.S. for 6 weeks to visit factories and observe
production. For three weeks he is at Ford Motor Company as the guest of Henry Ford II. Eiji notes that Toyoda is behind Ford in many respects and can not
compete on a mass production basis. However he does believe they can emphasize their own unique attributes and style of production and improve upon what he observed.
Taiichi Ohno studies at Ford principles of mass production and Assembly Line.
Concept of Takt Time is created. Taiichi Ohno learns about Standardized Work. Initial
Standardized Work Charts are developed. Elimination of waste concept is created.

1951 - 1955 Further refinements to the basic system emerging in the machine
shops by Ohno and his direct reports (K. Suzumura, I. Mamiya, T. Watanabe, M. Morita, Y. Arima) in the engine, transmission, and chassis areas.
Start of TWI management training programs (JI, JR, JM) begins to develop supervisors and managers in production.
Creative Suggestion system initiated based upon a model observed at Ford.
Elimination of waste concept is created. Initial Standardized Work charts are developed and utilized for
analysis. Further reduction of batch sizes and change over time on tooling is
conducted. Aspects of visual control / 4S introduced.

Toyota wins Demming Prize for Quality Dr. Demming’s expertise in quality control techniques led to his
receiving an invitation from the society of Japanese Union of Scientists and Engineers (JUSE). JUSE members had studied Shewhart's techniques, and as part of Japan's reconstruction efforts, they sought an expert to teach statistical control (SPC).
