Having no standardization work process means no quality. Everyone will do this task differently. Tracking the source of errors is difficult without the work standard. When a leader perform gemba walk on shop floor to observe the situation, there is no benefit from the walk when there is no standard.

And workers should follow what the industrial engineers are ...

At first, Taiichi Ohno, who helped create the Toyota Production System, didn't want to write it down because he was afraid people would only pay attention to the tools and theories. When he finally wrote it down, he described it as a house because a house can be considered as a system. If you remove any supports holding up the roof, the roof and everything connected to it will fall down. One of the students of Ohno said that Toyota made a mistake when they named it the Toyota Production System. Instead, Toyota should have named it the Thinking Production System because the main purpose was ...

Takt is a German word that means the speed or rhythm of something. Takt time is a number that helps make sure that the pace of making pacemakers matches the pace of selling them. One of the most important things to consider in lean manufacturing is takt time. This is the rate at which customers want a certain group of products to be produced by one step in the manufacturing process. Takt time is a number that tells us how much time we have to make each item that the customer wants. Takt time is the time available for manufacturing divided by the number of orders. In the 1930s, the German ...

To save money during the economic downturn, many businesses are using abstinence policies. This might mean firing employees and reducing pay for some people. Actually, those actions might only work for a little while. If the company doesn't make a culture of always getting better and change how it works, the problem might happen again and get even worse. This takes us back to the reason why the Toyota production system was created. Waste means something that takes up resources, but doesn't give anything back to the customer. Many activities are not useful and can be divided into two ...

Heijunka (Japanese for “production leveling” or “production smoothing”) is a key technique in achieving Just-In-Time (JIT) production. Its purpose is to smooth production across all departments and suppliers, ensuring a steady and predictable workflow while minimizing inventory. Heijunka works by leveling both production volume and product mix. Instead of producing strictly according to fluctuating customer orders, it distributes the total demand over a period, maintaining a consistent daily output. This steady pace supports upstream and downstream operations, reduces waste, and ...
