The document outlines the Toyota Production System, including its vision, mission, and key principles such as just-in-time production, kanban pulls, continuous improvement, and eliminating waste. The Toyota system aims to efficiently meet demand by smoothing production, empowering employees, ensuring quality, and maintaining strong supplier relationships. It strives for process optimization through concepts like jidoka, andon, mura and muri which help standardize workflow and identify problems.

7. JUST-IN-TIME
Produced according to what needed, when needed
and how much needed.
Strategy to improve return on investment by reducing
inventory and associated cost.
The process is driven by Kanban concept.

9. KANBAN CONCEPT
Meaning- Sign, Index Card
It is the most important Japanese concept opted by
Toyota.
Kanban systems combined with unique scheduling
tools, dramatically reduces inventory levels.
Enhances supplier/customer relationships and
improves the accuracy of manufacturing schedules.
A signal is sent to produce and deliver a new shipment
when material is consumed.
These signals are tracked through the refill cycle and
bring extraordinary visibility to suppliers and buyers.

11. Just-in-time --- Benefits
Set up times are significantly reduced in the
warehouse.
The flows of goods from warehouse to shelves are
improved.
Employees who possess multiple skills are utilized
more efficiently.
Better consistency of scheduling and consistency of
employee work hours.
Increased emphasis on supplier relationships

12. JIDOKA
Jidoka (meaning ‘autonomation’)-a term used in Lean
manufacturing meaning "automation with a human
touch."
It is a quality control process used in the Toyota
Production System which applies the following four
principles:
Detect the abnormality.
Stop.
Fix or correct the immediate condition.
Investigate the root cause and install a
countermeasure.

15. Lean Manufacturing
Most important concept of Toyota Production System
A management philosophy focusing on reduction of
the seven wastes to improve overall customer value.
www.a2zmba.com

16. www.a2zmba.com

17. Key Principles
 Pull processing products are pulled from the consumer end
(demand), not pushed from the production end (Supply)
 Perfect first-time quality  quest for zero defects, revealing &
solving problems at the source
 Waste minimization  eliminating all activities that do not add
value & safety nets, maximize use of scarce resources (capital,
people and land)
 Continuous improvement  reducing costs, improving quality,
increasing productivity and information sharing
 Flexibility  producing different mixes or greater diversity of
products quickly, without sacrificing efficiency at lower
volumes of production
 Building and maintaining a long term relationship with
suppliers through collaborative risk sharing, cost sharing and
information sharing arrangements.

18. seven wastes to improve overall customer
value [ MUDA ]
Transportation
Inventory
Motion
Waiting time
Over-production
Processing Itself
Defective Product (Scrap in manufactured
products or any type of business.)

19. Other Toyota Production
Concepts
Heijunka (Production Smoothing)
Kaizen (Continuous Improvement)
Poke-Yoke (to avoid inadvertent errors)
Andon (Signboard)
Mura,Muri
www.a2zmba.com

20. Heijunka
(Production Smoothing)
Heijunka is Japanese term that refers to a system of
production smoothing designed to achieve a more
even and consistent flow of work.
Heijunka as a concept is closely related to lean
production and just in time manufacturing.
A related visual scheduling board known as a heijunka
box is often used in achieving heijunka style
efficiencies.
The use of heijunka as well as broader lean production
techniques helped Toyota massively reduce vehicle
production times as well as inventory levels during the
1980s.
www.a2zmba.com

21. Kaizen
Meaning- Continuous Improvement
Kaizen refers to a workplace 'quality' strategy and related
to various quality-control systems.
It aims to eliminate waste (defined as "activities that add
cost but do not add value").
Kaizen is a daily activity whose purpose goes beyond
improvement. It is also a process that, when done
correctly, humanizes the workplace, eliminates overly
hard work (both mental and physical.
It teaches people how to perform experiments using the
scientific method and how to learn to spot and eliminate
waste in business processes.

22. Poke-Yoke
Poka-yoke (means "fail-safing" or "mistake-proofing"
—
avoiding (yokeru) inadvertent errors (poka)) is a
behavior-shaping constraint, or a method of
preventing errors by putting limits on how an
operation can be performed in order to force the
correct completion of the operation.
www.a2zmba.com

23. Andon (Signboard) Andon is a manufacturing term referring to a signboard
incorporating signal lights, audio alarms, and text or other displays
installed at a workstation to notify management and other workers of
a quality or process problem.
 The alert can be activated manually by a worker, or may be activated
automatically by the production equipment itself. Typically, it will
incorporate both a visual indicator and an audible alarm.
 An Andon system is one of the principle elements of the Jidoka
quality-control method pioneered by Toyota and now part of the
Lean methodology.
 It gives the worker the ability to stop production when a defect is
found, and immediately call for assistance.
 Work is stopped until a solution has been found out. The alerts may
be logged to a database so that they can be studied as part of a
continuous-improvement program.
 The system will typically indicate where the alert was generated, and
may also provide a description of the trouble.
 Modern Andon systems can include text, graphics, or audio elements.
 Audio alerts may be done with coded tones, music with different
tunes corresponding to the various alerts, or pre-recorded verbal
messages.

24. Mura , Muri
Mura
 Mura is a Japanese term for unevenness.
 It is also a key concept in the Toyota Production System and is one of
the three types of waste (Muda, Mura, Muri) it identifies. Waste
reduction is an effective way to increase profitability.
Muri
 Muri is a Japanese term for overburden or unreasonableness.
 It is also a key concept in the Toyota Production System and is one of
the three types of waste (Muda, Mura, Muri) it identifies. Waste
reduction is an effective way to increase profitability.
 Muri can be avoided through standardised work.

25. Conclusion
A Production System that is steeped in the philosophy
of the complete elimination of all wastes and that
penetrates all aspects of production with this
philosophy in pursuit of the most efficient production
method.
