A Complete Guide to Just-in-Time Production

Inside Toyota's Mind

Beschreibung

Just-in-Time Production: Unlocking the Secrets of Toyota's Legendary Efficiency When people first heard of Toyota's approach, "Just-in-Time" was misunderstood as a simple inventory reduction program. In reality, it is one of the core pillars of the Toyota Production System (TPS), designed to create one-piece flow, expose hidden problems, and eliminate waste across the entire value stream. Just-in-Time Production takes you behind the scenes of Toyota's revolutionary system, showing how the company emerged stronger than competitors after the 1970 oil crisis and became a global benchmark in manufacturing excellence. Learn why Western automakers misunderstood JIT-and how Lean Thinking, as popularized by James P. Womack, revealed the true power of connecting the whole value chain to customer demand. Inside this book, you'll explore:The myths and realities of "Just-in-Time" and why zero inventory is not the goal How to implement heijunka, takt time, pull systems, and continuous flow in manufacturing The role of buffers and the Andon system in protecting quality and customer satisfaction Practical insights on JIT and jidoka, Toyota's two foundational pillars for operational excellence Whether you are a plant manager, engineer, or lean enthusiast, this book demystifies the Toyota Production System and provides actionable guidance to implement lean practices that truly work. Discover how to move beyond theory and achieve real, measurable improvements in your operations-just as Toyota has done for decades.
