Elimination of waste is a major component of the continuous improvement approach. There is also a strong emphasis on prevention rather than detection‚ and an emphasis on quality at the design stage. The customer-driven approach helps to prevent errors and achieve defect-free production. When problems do occur within the product development process‚ they are generally discovered and resolved before they can get to the next internal customer.

of the component parts to individual work stations just before they are physically required. Cars can then be built to order and that every component would fit perfectly as they will be no other alternatives. Therefore‚ it is impossible to hide manufacturing issues and have to be deal with it on the spot. To ensure that they produce a large number of cars to be sold‚ more than 30 000 parts are needed to build up a car from scratch. Therefore‚ Toyota has to make a production plan whereby it includes

I believe that the importance of correct programming and setting up of part is very important in today’s CNC manufacturing world as you are producing very precise components that need to be produced first time‚ every time or this is bad news for the company because of loss profits‚ scrap material and expensive repair costs. So ensuring correct programming and setting up of CNC machines is critical. The main reason for needing to produce accurate programing codes to the right specifications is to

The pit crew team is much like the book we are reading in class where a cell in a manufacturing company works like this team to lean out their process and gain throughput but also cut down Muda or waste and improve cycle time. Crews have been known to train hard in the off-season over the winter. Team members lose weight and get physically fitter in the process

3) Where if at all‚ does the current routine for handling defective seats deviate from the principles of the Toyota Production Systems? If we look back to the Principles of TPS‚ basically the general aim is to focus to eliminate waste and achieved cost reduction. It’s directed all of the resources of a production line toward delivering a top-quality product for the customer. TPS provided two principles and guidelines to ease the identification of waste.
