Principles 9 and 10 of the Toyota Way (Liker 2004). As explained by Liker (2004) ‘the leader’s real challenge is having the long-term vision of knowing what to do‚ the knowledge of how to do it‚ and the ability to develop people so they can understand and do their job excellently. Lean Operations are used in the manufacturing industry and especially in automotive manufacturing units. Two of the manufacturing units that use this strategy of lean operations are Toyota Motor Company and Pratt and

An agile strategy can help the firms‚ alleviate these customer demand problem‚ but it does not eliminate inefficiencies along the production processes. The main objective of lean is on eliminating waste. An agile system signifies flexibility and hence heightened responsiveness to changes. 2. Explain how manufacturing has evolved. The manufacturing concept was evolved with the success story of lean production‚ leading

not especially new. It is derived from the Toyota Production System or Just in Time Production‚ Henry Ford and other predecessors. The lineage of Lean manufacturing and Just In Time (JIT) Production goes back to Eli Whitney and the concept of interchangeable part in the 1850’s. It was finally when Taichii Ohno and Shigeo Shingo introduced Toyota Production System which in true sense talked about lean manufacturing. Todd(2000) defines lean production as “initiative‚ whose goal is to reduce the

The JIT inventory model is a long-run model based on the principle that inventory should arrive just as needed for production in the quantities needed (Ainsworth & Deines‚ 2011). JIT is a Japanese management philosophy which has been applied in practice since the early 1970s in many Japanese manufacturing organizations. It was first developed and perfected within the Toyota manufacturing plants by Taiichi Ohno as a means of meeting consumer demands with minimum delays. Taiichi Ohno is frequently

Overburden Muda (無駄?)[1] is a traditional Japanese term for an activity that is wasteful and doesn ’t add value or is unproductive‚ etymologically none (無)+ trivia or un-useful (駄) in practice or others. It is also a key concept in the Toyota Production System (TPS) and is one of the three types of waste (muda‚ mura‚ muri[2]) that it identifies. Waste reduction is an effective way to increase profitability. Toyotamerely picked up these three words beginning with the prefix mu-‚[3] which in Japan
