    technology, institution and systems without
    losing Japanese cultural identity.

  • In 1949 Toyota produced only1000 vehicles a
    month. The industrial productivity of USA was
    eight times greater than of Japan.

    an appropriate number of appropriate (marketable)
    products at an appropriate time.

Toyotas Production system is based on
Supermarket System
  • Several engines or transmissions for each type
    of vehicle are placed on shelves and the assembly
    plant personnel picks up as many engines or
    transmissions as they need from the shelves. All
    engines are labeled with information cards which
    are removed when the engines are picked up.

Working as a Human being supported by the
strength of teamwork.
  • Factory workers are working as a human being not
    as part of the machinery.
  • Defectives must be cut to zero as much as
    possible.
  • If a problem occur the entire line is stopped
    immediately. Then all workers and supervisors put
    their heads together to solve the problem. This
    leads to eliminate every waste of defective,
    error, or accident and improve productivity.

    the production process
  • Waste of stock on hand
  • Waste of processing
  • Waste of overproduction
  • Waste of time on hand
  • Waste of movement
  • Waste of making defective products
  • Excellent service for the customers
