The document provides an overview of the Toyota Production System (TPS). It discusses the origins and key contributors to TPS. Some of the main aspects of TPS discussed include just-in-time production, kanban systems, continuous improvement through kaizen, and an emphasis on both technical and human/people elements. Challenges of implementing TPS included the significant changes required to organizational culture and the potential for issues in the initial implementation process. Overall, the document argues that TPS provides a highly efficient and flexible production model that could become a global standard.

1. Case Study on Toyota Production System {TPs}Presented By-MOHD.ARISH

2. INTRODUCTION1897:- Sakichi Toyoda diversified his business.

3. 1926:- He formed Toyoda Automatic Loom Works (TALW) to manufacturing Loom workers

4. 1933:- Established an Automobile department within TALW.

5. 1935:- First Passenger car prototype was developed.

6. 1936:- Sakichi sold the patent rights of his Automatic loom to a UK based Company.

7. 1947:- The passenger cars production began.

8. 1950-1955:- Foundation of Kanban System.1957:- Eijji Renamed Toyota as “The Toyota Company”1968:- Toyota’s first export to the USA.1970s:- Major boost in the Japan due to oil crises.1980s:- Toyota brought TPS in the USA with a Joint Venture to The GM.1983:- Company’s name changed to Toyota motor Corporation.1988:- Toyota Opened its New plant in Georgetown.1999-2000:- Toyota listed on NYSE & LSE and become one of the top manufactures of cars in the world.

9. TOYATA PRODUCTION SYSTEMJoint effort of,Sakichi, Kiichiro and Eijji.Ohno’s Contribution Streamlined the concept and develop them into formal system.

10. Trained the engineer’s about how to use and implement the system.

11. Efficient use of available resources by reducing wastes and lowering costs.

12. Feeling of equality by abolishing the hierarchical structure.

13. Respect for backward integration.AIM OF TPSReduction of cost through elimination of wastes or MUDA.Identify the cropped up problems and solved it out.

15. JUST IN TIME (JIT)Foundation of TPS.Principle:Produce necessary items at necessary time and in the necessary amount.Why this JIT became a necessity?Because of scarce flat industrial land.Little scope of vertical integration unlike General Motors.Aim of JITMake production process smoother by eliminating unnatural peaks and gullies as it help in keeping the standards up to the mark.
