Sakichi Toyoda invented a power loom in 1902 and in 1926 an automatic loom capable of detecting a snapped thread that automatically stopped the loom thus preventing production of poor quality. That same year‚ 1926‚ he founded

In the mid-1990s‚ more than fifty executives and engineers from major automobile companies worldwide visited Toyota Motor Company’s manufacturing complex at Georgetown‚ US‚ to study the Toyota Production System (TPS). The visit also included an intensive question and answer session. Even though the visitors were from competing automakers‚ including Ford and Chrysler‚ Toyota did not deny them access to the plant. The TPS aimed to produce world-class‚ quality automobiles at competitive prices

reducing in-processinventory and associated carrying costs. Just-in-time production method is also called the Toyota Production System. To meet JIT objectives‚ the process relies on signals or Kanban (看板 Kanban?) between different points in the process‚ which tell production when to make the next part. Kanban are usually ’tickets ’ but can be simple visual signals‚ such as the presence or absence of a part on a shelf. Implemented correctly‚ JIT focuses on continuous improvement and can improve a manufacturing

efficiently was greater than ever. Kiichiro’s younger cousin‚ Eiji – later to become president and chairman of Toyota Motor Manufacturing – tasked one of Toyota’s young engineers‚ Taiichi Ohno‚ with the job of increasing productivity. Ohno’s achievement was to marry the just-in-time concept with the principle of jidoka. In 1953‚ Ohno also visited the USA to study Ford’s production methods‚ but he was much more inspired by American supermarkets. He noticed how customers would take from the shelves only what

Toyota has set the standard for the rest of the auto industry to follow. Toyota has accomplished its goals of profitability and quality by implementing the various components of the TPS. Some of the common terms associated with the TPS are JIT‚ Kanban‚ Jidoka‚ Poka-Yoke‚ and Kaizen. Each comes from the Japanese language and has been transplanted in America as everyday terms for Toyota ’s employees. The effects of the TPS can be seen all through the manufacturing industry and being a Ford Motor
