This book utilizes historical evidence to describe the development of the Toyota Production System (TPS). The development of TPS typifies the transformation of production control in interchangeable industries in the twentieth century. Much of the extensive literature available on TPS has been geared toward describing TPS from a number of different perspectives. Many researchers consider TPS distinct from American mass-production systems. Although TPS (and, more generally, the production control systems in the Japanese assembly industry) has differentiated itself from similar US production systems, the evolution of TPS is largely attributable to attempts to learn from, imitate, and modify pre-World War II US production methods. Through these efforts, TPS has achieved levels of efficiency in Japan comparable to those of US production systems. Additionally, a reliance on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in relation to production control has facilitated the development of TPS. The literature on TPS, however, has largely ignored the vital relationship between ICT and production control due to an inordinate focus on “Kanban.” Kanban translates to “signboard” in Japanese but is used to refer to an organic linkage between work in preceding and subsequent production processes. This book sheds light on the development of a fully digitalized Bill of Materials (BOM) at Toyota, behind its Kanban and production control.

What is the true source of a firm's long-term competitive advantage in manufacturing? Through original field studies, historical research, and statistical analyses, this book shows how Toyota Motor Corporation, one of the world's largest automobile companies, built distinctive capabilities in production, product development, and supplier management. Fujimoto asserts that it is Toyota's evolutionary learning capability that gives the company its advantage and demonstrates how this learning is put to use in daily work.

This is the "green book" that started it all -- the first book in English on JIT, written from the engineer's viewpoint. When Omark Industries bought 500 copies and studied it companywide, Omark became the American pioneer in JIT. Here is Dr. Shingo's classic industrial engineering rationale for the priority of process-based over operational improvements in manufacturing. He explains the basic mechanisms of the Toyota production system, examines production as a functional network of processes and operations, and then discusses the mechanism necessary to make JIT possible in any manufacturing plant. Provides original source material on Just-ln-Time Demonstrates new ways to think about profit, inventory, waste, and productivity Explains the principles of leveling, standard work procedures, multi-machine handling, supplier relations, and much more If you are a serious student of manufacturing, you will benefit greatly from reading this primary resource on the powerful fundamentals of JIT.

The ability to bring new and innovative products to market rapidly is the prime critical competence for any successful consumer-driven company. All industries, especially automotive, are slashing product development lead times in the current hyper-competitive marketplace. This book is the first to thoroughly examine and analyze the truly effective product development methodology that has made Toyota the most forward-thinking company in the automotive industry. Winner of the 2007 Shingo Prize For Excellence In Manufacturing Research! In The Toyota Product Development System: Integrating People, Process, and Technology, James Morgan and Jeffrey Liker compare and contrast the world-class product development process of Toyota with that of a U.S. competitor. They use extensive examples from Toyota and the U.S. competitor to demonstrate value stream mapping as an extraordinarily powerful tool for continuous improvement. Through examples and case studies, this book illustrates specific techniques and proven practices for dealing with challenges associated with product development, such as synchronizing multiple disciplines, multiple function workload leveling, compound process variation, effective technology integration, and knowledge management. Readers of this book can focus on optimizing the entire product development value stream rather than focus on a specific tool or technology for local improvements.

This book explains the production methods and future trajectories for the Japanese car company through the strategic development of Toyotas automobile manufacturing both in Japan and overseas as follows: Part I gives an overview of the book based on the Toyota Production System (TPS), its advanced production management principles and its aim to create the simultaneous realisation of quality and productivity via process control and process improvement, with priority given to the customer. In Chapter One, the author describes the outline of the characteristic, aim, and validity" of this book. Chapter Two focuses on the progress and fundamentals of TPS in terms of the just in time (JIT) principle and automobile manufacturing technology, which has contributed to the simultaneous achievement of QCD at Toyota. In Chapter Three, the author asserts the necessity for the evolution of manufacturing in order to deal with the management issues currently facing Japanese manufacturers. Therefore, in this chapter, the author establishes an advanced TPS and its effectiveness of strategic development, surpassing JIT. In Chapter Four, the author develops an advanced TPS for an automobile manufacturing strategy to expand this strategy throughout Japan and overseas. Safety Analysis to Strengthen Toyota Automobile Manufacturing is the topic of Part II. Todays management challenge is to provide excellent QCD products ahead of competitors through market creating activities. In the implementation stage, strategic QCD studies are needed to strengthen core technologies, and to have them mutually linked as a whole. Therefore, the author develops the safety analysis utilizing a statistical science known as the Science of SQC: The New Quality Control Principle for the strengthening of the business and manufacturing processes. Chapters Five Seven discuss and demonstrate the effectiveness of the following as the driving force in developing advanced TPS: Realizing high quality manufacturing, strengthening new manufacturing management technology, and creating an SCM strategy for developing QCD studies of Japan and overseas. In Part III, the author discusses and demonstrates the future directions for Toyotas manufacturing strategy. Focusing on a concrete target, the author reconsiders new management tasks foreseen for the advanced manufacturing companies, shifting to expanding global production. Based on the focus of Parts I and II, the author asserts the profitability (justification and validity) for re-progress in automobile manufacturing in order to deal with the management issues currently facing Japanese manufacturers. In Chapter Eight, as an oversea production strategy, the author propagates an "expanding new integrated production model" to developing countries and discusses the necessity for the global deployment. In Chapter Nine, the author shows and demonstrates the effectiveness of new production progress for re-strengthening global production. In Chapter Ten, the author provides an overall conclusion of the topics covered in this book.

It was the oil shock in the fall of 1973 that drew attention to our Toyota Production system. This was because in the slow growth economy which followed, Toyota Motor Company showed a relatively stronger resistance to recession than other companies.The Toyota approach was the result of many years trial and error as searched for a way to survive in competition with the mass production system already well established in Europe and America. It is a product of the Toyota history which started with Mr. Sakichi Toyota and has continued through Kiichiro Toyota to the present.From the beginning we felt we had some original ideas particularly suited to the economic environment of Japan. So, we did not want other companies especially those of the advanced countries, to understand it easily. Consequently we practiced the system and other techniques without publicizing them. Thus it is only natural that our system was not understood easily. Recently I heard often from the outside that there seems to be some sort of secret in the Toyota production system and in "kanban", which is the method of operating the system. We have received many direct and indirect inquiries from many people on the Toyota method of making things. They were not only from people in business, but from professors who are teaching production management in the universities and management consultants.We are grateful for this interest on the Toyota Production system. However as the attention grows and as more people in the business in this country study the subject, there seems to be misunderstanding in some cases or, sometimes certain convenient portion are abused. One specific example is to make a shortcut conclusion that Toyota Production System is a "Kanban system", but factually wrong. "Kanban" is one of the operational means of the Toyota Production System and just the adoption of "Kanban" alone does not mean that productivity will rise accordingly. And the intent of improving the record of a parent firm by "harassing the subcontractors" is entirely out of character with the idea of the Toyota Production System.So in order for others to understand and apply Toyota Production system correctly I have written this book. In order to ensure correct understanding, emphasis was placed on the ideas and principles involved rather than giving many specific examples. I would like to tell this to readers in advance.
