Ohno Don’t Lean on me Taiichi Ohno ((大野 耐) was born in a Dailina, China on February 29, 1912 and passed away on May 28, 1990 in Toyota City, Japan. Ohno graduated from Nagoya Technical High School in Japan and later became a very prominate buisness man. During his life, Ohno developed somethings that are well known and not overly dificult to impliment.
One of the notable things, is obviously The Lean System (Known in the United States) (TLS) or The Toyota Production System as it is known in Japan (TPS). A major factor to the TPS is refered to as Muda (無駄) in Japan or “The Seven Waste” (Buisness) in the U.S. Muda is aconcept that reveils the waste of transportation, inventory, motion, waiting, over-processing, over-production, and defects. All though these concepts seem easily identifiable.In the scope of the everyday operations of a buisness, they are actually easily over looked and harder to eradicate once they have formed. If acomplished these concepts make up a wonderful free flowing buisness, known in Japan as” jidoka (自働化?) (The injection of quality)” (economist).
Transportation or unnecessary transportation is the first liability. In the transportation, process each time there is a handling of the goods it increases the cost and risk of damage. This problem, for both the producer and the consumer, is that cost cannot be illiminated
