“TPS is a production system which is a quantity control system, based on a foundation of quality, whose goal is cost reductions & the means to reduce cost is the absolute elimination of waste.”
-Ohno
5 fold Definition of TPS
• Has a focus on quantity control to reduce cost by eliminating waste.
• Is built on strong foundation of processes & product quality.
• Is fully integrated.
• Is continually evolving.
• Is perpetuated by a strong healthy culture that is managed consciously, continuously & consistently.
2 Pillars of the TPS
• Just in Time (J.I.T.)
• JIDOKA
Just in Time (J.I.T.)
The technique of supplying exactly the
right quantity at exactly the right time & exactly the right location.
JIDOKA
Is a series of cultural & technical issues regarding the use of machines and manpower together, utilizing people for the unique tasks they are able to perform & allow the machines to self-regulate the quality. It uses:
poka-yoke = fool proofing the process
andons = visual displays such as light to indicate process status
