The structure of the Toyota Production System was developed by Taiichi Ohno and Eiji Toyoda, and it is used to explain the evolving Toyota System to employees and suppliers. The purpose of this production system (TPS) is to eliminate all muri, mura, and muda (overload, imbalance, waste) in operations. It is a approach that involves every employee in solving problems by using the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) method, in order to improve quality, costs, delivery times, safety, and employee morale. The reason for using the structure of a house to explain the Toyota Production System is that the roof, columns, and foundation represent a stable structure similar to that system. The Toyota Production System (TPS) is still evolving today. The people at Toyota began calling the Toyota Production System the “system of employee thinking” as a replacement for its original name. The Toyota system is constantly being improved. The Toyota Production System (TPS) is the operational blueprint for lean enterprises. Most organizations that have successfully implemented lean practices use the Toyota Production System as their operational blueprint. They learn and understand the system, rename it to adapt it to their own needs, while striving to use purely Toyota-style methods. ·Manufacture only the products required by the customer, at the desired time, and in the correct quantity ； ·Minimum inventory ； ·Machine operations are separated from manual operations, making full use of both ； ·Build quality into the process to prevent defects at the source ； ·Reduce delivery times to enable fast and flexible production scheduling ； ·Effectively carry out production in multiple qualities and small batches ； ·The Toyota Production System demonstrates a world-class production system achieved through continuous improvement by eliminating waste. Left pillar: Just-in-Time production (JIT) – Takt time – Flow – Pull from downstream ； In addition to the 7 wastes in production. Enable smooth flow of production and information, minimizing inventory and space. Right pillar: Built-in quality – Jidoka (autonomation) integrates quality into the process, using intelligent automation to separate human and machine tasks. Implement low-cost automation, error-proofing methods, equipment upgrades, and reliability improvements. Foundation: Smoothing Heijunka to stabilize variations in production scheduling. Reduce the overall delivery time by coordinating sales, production planning, and customer demands. WeChat official account (subscription account): Yangzhi Consulting Group YCG (WeChat ID: young6668).
