Toyota switched from automated looms to
Shortage of supplies led to simplistic design

Mass production, with its emphasis on scale economies and
Secondhand equipment and high unit costs forced Toyota to

The first true proof of superiority of TPS. GM failed to reduce non‐value‐added

Zero non‐value added activities (muda) Zero defects, zero breakdowns, zero inventory, zero set‐up Production flow synchronized with demand (JIT)
One‐unit‐at‐a‐time flow Mixed model production (heijunka) Piece‐by‐piece transfer (ikko‐nagashi) Match production demand based on Takt time Pull instead of push Supermarket / Kanban Make‐to‐order
Quality methods to reduce defects
Fool‐proofing (poka‐yoke) and visual feed‐back Detect‐stop‐alert (Jidoka) Defects at machines (original Jidoka) Defects in assembly (Andon cord) Build‐in‐quality (tsukurikomi)
Flexibility Standardization of work Worker involvement
Quality circles (Kaizen) Fishbone diagrams (Ishikawa) Skill development / X‐training Reduction of Variability Quartile Analysis Standard operating procedures Adjustment of capacity to meet takt‐time Multi‐task assignment (takotei‐mochi)
Reduce inventory to expose defects

Overproduction: too much or too early Waiting: idle time and low utilization Transport: internal transport does not create value Over‐processing: use expensive materials or spend too
Inventory: hide problems and leads to long flow times Rework: “Do it right the first time” Motion: use the right tool and avoid unnecessary body

Most nurses spend too much time on non‐nursing activities. This waste leads to heavy workload for nurses, poor care for
Only 60% of the capacity of an operating room is used

An elevator is a batch process which leads to long wait times. Escalators keep people moving constantly without waiting.

Most large scale operations have operated based on MRP and
Extensive periods of large inventories or customer backorders
TPS aims at reducing FGI by operating its process in

Make‐to‐order: every flow unit in the process is assigned to
Low volume and large variety Customers are willing to wait Inventory is expensive
Kanban: a flow unit in the process is not designated to fill any
High volume and low variety Short order lead times Costs and efforts to store the components are low

Need flexible processes to meet demand fluctuations. Flexible processes requires multiple‐skilled workers. The management should provide standard operating
