Toyota Production System & Dual Kanban System

Toyota Production System
Toyota production system was developed & promoted by TMC. The main purpose of TPS is to eliminate waste through continuous improvement activities. Profit through cost reduction Elimination of over production Quality control , Quality assurance , Respect for humanity
Toyota Production System Increase of capital Cost Reduction turnover ratio
Elimination of Waste
Continuous flow of Production
Just-in time production Production methods
Information system
•Small lot size •Short setup time •Multifunctional worker •Job finishing within cycle time

Goal of TPS Why? “Cost Reduction Is the Goal” There are two ways to increase efficiency: 1) increase production quantity or 2) reduce the number of workers—Taiichi In the short Ohno.

Over time, lower costs, higher quality, and faster development & production times will increase sales.
•Reduce people at all levels in the organizat ion Manufactur ing as a Competitiv e Weapon
Cost vs. Vitality & Growth
As you reduce costs, you create options: Lower
prices, which often lead to higher market share
More R & D Growth
through acquisitions or diversification Higher investment in training and equipment Greater profitability, which rewards shareholders, including employees
Options give the company the means to survive on its own terms, even in slow Back economic times, and grow as the
Main Features of TPS
Greater Product Variety
Fast Response (Flexibility)
“Stable” Production Schedules
Supply Chain Integration

Elements of TPS
The SMED Program.
Highlight Problems (Jidoka).
Gradual Elimination of Waste. Continuous Improvement (Kaizen), RootCause Analysis (5-whys?) and Fool-proofing (Poka-Yoke).
Cross-Trained Workers.
Just-In-Time Production.
A Lean Paradox Reducing costs means reducing people, but if you eliminate people as a result of improvement, you will get no more improvement. The Toyota Production System clearly reveals excess manpower… •Resolve how to maintain mutual trust while reducing people
Management’s responsibility is to identify excess manpower and utilize it effectively. Hiring people when business is good and production high just to lay them off is a bad practice. On the other hand, eliminating wasteful and meaningless jobs enhances the value of work for workers.
Implementing the TPS All activities must support the goal of “shortening the time it takes to convert customer orders into deliveries.” Toyota Motor Corporation, 1992 Develop A Lean Strategy •Create a sense of urgency •Throughout the enterprise, sell lean/TPS as the solution •Hire a sensei & retain design talent •Establish targets •Resolve how to maintain mutual trust while reducing people •Give preliminary thought to supplier issues •Consider the competitive environment
Design The Manufactur ing System •Identify the customer base and product range •Identify takt time & its •range Apply flexible designs to •create Apply the axiomatic basic factory design systemto create the basic factory system •Eliminate non-essential infrastructure and layers above the factory floor
Establish Flow Within •Form cells Cells based on takt time •Define standard work content for each operation to be < takt time •Separate worker from machine (jidoka) •Develop quick setups & standard WIP (SMED) •Standardize
Establish Pull Between •Design an Cells information system to produce only the products required by the downstream cells •Incorporate takt time to drive flows •Institute leveled production (heijunka) •Use visual control
Strive For Perfection •Institute kaizen & institutionalize 5Ss throughout organization •Transfer ownership of all processes to work force •Push lean down to suppliers •Integrate product development •Reduce people Manufact at all levels in uring as a the Competiti organization ve Weapon

“Right part, right amount, right time”
• Takt time planning • Continuous flow • Pull system • Quick changeover • Integrated logistics
People & Teamwork
• Selection • Common Goals
• Rigid decision making • Crosstrained

Jidoka (Instation quality) “Make Problems Visible”
• Automatic stops • Andon • Personmachine separation • Error proofing • Instation quality control • Solve root cause of problems (5 Why?)
DUAL KANBAN SYSTEM
KANBAN IS THE MAIN TOOL FOR OPERATING ON JUST IN TIME
Kanban System The pull system means that materials are drawn or sent for by the users of the material as needed. [Monden] The Kanban system is an information system that harmoniously controls the production of the necessary products in the necessary quantities at the necessary time in every process of a factory and also among companies, which is known as the JIT production. [Monden] A Kanban is a tool to achieve JIT production. It is simply a card which is usually put in a
Types Of Kanbans
Kanbans are classified as follows Primary Kanban : travels from one stage to another among main manufacturing cells- “withdrawal Kanban”(conveyor kanban), “production Kanban” Supply Kanban: travels from a warehouse or storage facility to a manufacturing facility Procurement Kanban: travels from outside of a company to the receiving area Subcontract Kanban : travels between subcontracting units Auxiliary Kanban : the form of an express Kanban, emergency Kanban, or a
Operations Principles
Level production (balance the schedule) Avoid complex information and hierarchical control systems on a factory floor Do not withdraw parts without a kanban Withdraw only the parts needed at each stage Do not send defective parts to the succeeding stages Produce the exact quantity of parts withdrawn
Kanban Functions The key objective of a Kanban system: • To deliver the material just-in-time to the manufacturing workstations • To pass information to the preceding stage as to what and how much to produce Following functions 1. Visibility Function : the information and material flow are combined together 2. Production Function : indicates the time, quantity, and part types to be produced 3. Inventory Function : # of Kanbans = # of inventory
Basic Kanban Rules Rule 1: Move a Kanban only when the lot it represents is consumed. Rule 2: No withdrawal of parts without a Kanban is allowed. Rule 3: The number of parts issued to the subsequent process must be the exact number specified by the Kanban. Rule 4: A Kanban should always be attached to the physical parts. Rule 5: The preceding process should always produce parts in the quantities with drawn by the subsequent process. Rule 6: Defective parts should never be conveyed to the subsequent process.

Determining Number Of Kanbans average demand during lead time + safety stock No. of kanbans = container size dL + S N= C
Where N = number of kanbans or containers d = average demand over some time period L = lead time to produce parts S = safety stock C = container size

Conclusion Toyota production system has been created from actual practices in the factories of Toyota, it has a strong feature of emphasising practical effects, and actual practice and implication over theoretical analysis. This system can play a great role in the task of improving the constituents of the companies worldwide especially those of the
