What Toyota Production System is Really About?

Image
Many people don't understand the DNA of the Toyota Production System and the core values of the Toyota Way. I have seen many who think about TPS as a toolkit or lean manufacturing techniques that have worked with Toyota because Toyota has a different process, a stable environment, or a less fluctuation in customer demand. Some others believe that TPS works only with the automotive industry.

MBO VS Hoshin Kanri for Lean Journey

Image
Many business schools are still teaching outdated theories even outright damaging concepts and practices making the improvement journey harder for many practitioners. What happened to management by objectives MBO and other methods that are still being taught in business schools? Without proper adaptation on how such methods should work to match the high demand of making improvement, these methods will become worthless and unable to match the real world change and the high demand of increased productivity.  A large body of evidence suggests that the curriculum taught in business schools has only a small relation to what is important for succeeding.

Jidoka - The Missing Pillar!

Jidoka is one of the main pillars of the TPS. The TPS is presented as a house with two pillars. One pillar represents just-in-time (JIT), and the other pillar the concept of Jidoka.

If you are making defective products or using unacceptable quality standards and filtering these defects out through an inspection system, there is no building quality—and no Jidoka. You are just catching the mistakes made in the manufacturing process. This costs a lot of money and resources and puts the business at risk.

Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle is a Learning Cycle Rather than an Improvement Cycle!

Image
Mistakenly, many people think plan-do-check-act (PDCA) is a continuous improvement cycle, even if they neglect the human part.

People must be trained in the culture of continuous improvement so they can keep managing the process with the new method.

Apply Kanban to Eliminate Kanban!

Image
For decades, production has relied on the old principle mass production invented by Henry Ford where parts are being produced in batches and pushed to the market hoping for a customer to buy. Things are based on forecasting and sales were too optimistic. This system disconnects the factory from the customer. The factory is producing only to a forecast. The production at the supplying (assembly) process also called customer process is being regulated by a schedule.
