Toyota Production System (TPS)
TPS is built on two main principles: Just-In-Time production and Jidoka. Underlying this management philosophy is the concept that "Good Thinking Means Good Product."
Toyota Production System (TPS)
Just-In-Time
One of the two main pillars of TPS. It refers to the manufacturing and conveyance of only what is needed, when it is needed, and in the amount needed.
TPS Terms
Jidoka
The ability to stop production lines in the event of problems such as equipment malfunction, quality issues, or late work. Jidoka helps prevent the passing of defects, helps identify and correct problem areas using localization and isolation.
TPS Terms
Andon
A type of visual control that displays the current state of work (i.e., abnormal conditions, work instructions, and job progress information). It is one of the main tools of Jidoka.
TPS Terms
Muda
Waste. Operations that do not add value to the customer. There are seven types of muda: (Overproduction, waiting, conveyance, processing, inventory, motion, correction).
TPS Terms
Kanban
A small sign that is the key control for the Just-In-Time production.
TPS Terms
Heijunka
The overall leveling, in the production schedule, of the volume and variety of items produced in given time periods.
TPS Terms
Genchi Genbutsu
Go see the problem. This is the belief that practical experience is valued over theoretical knowledge. You must see the problem to know the problem.
See the problem, know the problem.
See the job, value the job.
Applying TPS to Education
Look at what is valued and begin by creating a map.
Value Stream Map
Graphic representation of the current state of a process. A future state map depicts the process with only those things that add value. One begins to eliminate muda (waste).
