the toyota Production System a self evaluation instrument
Social Science Research Network, 2017Co-Authors: Elliott N WeissAbstract:This note consists of a self-assessment instrument by which organizations can measure importance and performance on the 14 dimensions of the Toyota Production System as delineated by Jeffrey Liker in his book "The Toyota Way." Excerpt UVA-OM-1221 Rev. Jan 10, 2014 The Toyota Production System: A Self-Evaluation Instrument The manufacturing processes known as the Toyota Production System (TPS) have been studied by academics and practitioners as a model of manufacturing excellence and have been used as a benchmark globally. In a recent book, Jeffrey Liker identified 14 management principles that he believed were key to successful implementation of TPS. Exhibit 1 consists of a score sheet that can be used to measure an organization's implementation of these principles. The score sheet asks for evaluations along two dimensions: importance to the organization and the organization's performance. Thus, an organization can be evaluated not only on how well it is performing, but also on how important doing well on a particular principle is.

a comprehensive review of manufacturing wastes toyota Production System lean principles
The Journal of Engineering Research, 2017Co-Authors: Mohammed Hamed Ahmed SolimanAbstract:Waste removal increases the profitability of any business. Processes are classified into value added and non-value added. The seven deadly wastes that could exist in any manufacturing process originated in Japan and are defined in the Toyota Production System (TPS). The main goal became removing them. For each waste, there is a strategy to remove or eliminate it. What is less likely is that managers will know how any of these issues are affecting them and increasing costs. To remove each waste, you have to understand where it comes from, why it exists, and how it affects your business. In the economic recession, many companies are taking abstinence procedures to reduce costs. This might include layoff labors and reducing some wages. Actually, those actions might work for only a short period. Afterwards, the situation may return and in worse shape unless the company changes its way of doing things, including enacting a culture of continuous improvement. This puts us back to why the Toyota Production System has been created.

what toyota Production System is really about
Social Science Research Network, 2015Co-Authors: Mohammed Hamed Ahmed SolimanAbstract: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 the TPS as a tool kit or lean manufacturing techniques that only work with Toyota because Toyota has a different process, a stable environment, or less fluctuation in customer demand. Others believe the TPS works only in the automotive industry. Jeff K. Liker came out with a remarkable series of books starting with The Toyota Way (2003) and ending with The Toyota Way to Lean Leadership (Liker and Convis 2012). He revealed the real TPS based on his thirty-plus years of experience studying Toyota. It took him seven books to explain and decode the TPS. It is a Thinking Production System. It is neither a waste removal tool nor a lean manufacturing tactic. Liker presented very well the leadership model behind the System’s success. The TPS is really not what many think. So, what is TPS?

industrial engineering the toyota Production System
Journal of Management History, 2010Co-Authors: Denis Royston TowillAbstract:Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the manifold linkages connecting the Toyota Production System (TPS) back to the Gilbreths and others, and to determine how these have contributed to enterprise‐wide best practice. Industrial engineering (IE) theory rapidly subsumed method study and thereby made considerable contributions to output in World War II (WWII). The outcome is the positing of “contemporary” IE.Design/methodology/approach – Consideration is given to the Japanese Management Association (JMA) personal handshake route originated by Frank Gilbreth in which experiences were handed down in lecture note format by successive generations of industrial engineers. His interaction with the FW Taylor Scientific Management movement is a second theme. The internationally recognised “softer” approach to teaching and coaching due to Lillian Gilbreth is then discussed. Finally the Gilbreth MOI2 Process Chart is examined.Findings – TPS has evolved over an extended period of time to achieve continuous...

exploiting the dna of the toyota Production System
International Journal of Production Research, 2007Co-Authors: Denis Royston TowillAbstract:The recently published DNA coding for the Toyota Production System has been interpreted as a four-level prism model comprising vision, principles, toolbox, and learning organization. A series of material flow propositions relating to this model are advanced. This includes the smoothing of Production, the strategic use of inventories, and the exploitation of industrial engineering techniques. These help explain and rationalize the apparent impact of ‘Japanization’ on a wide range of industries. A coherent picture thereby emerges from the available industrial evidence. This includes identification of a well-trodden improvement path from ‘traditional’ to ‘seamless’ operations based on uncertainty reduction leading to smooth material flow. Furthermore, TPS readily passes the predicated ‘transferability test’ between enterprises and between market sectors.

handshakes around the world toyota Production System
Manufacturing Engineer, 2006Co-Authors: Denis Royston TowillAbstract:Toyota Motor Corporation's Toyota Production System embraces four very significant components. Just-in-time (JIT) Production is a management philosophy aimed at eliminating waste from every aspect of manufacturing and its related activities. The term JIT refers to the Production of only what is needed, when it is needed, in just the amount needed. Total quality control is a concept of quality operation of the business with all people in all areas of the company's organisation involved to meet customer needs. Total productive maintenance, on the other hand, is a concept of productive maintenance aimed at achieving overall effectiveness of the Production System through the involvement of all the people in the organisation. Finally, computer integrated manufacturing is a concept to integrate the company operations from design, Production and distribution to after-sales service and support in the field, through the use of computers and modern information technologies. The effectiveness of TPS has been expressed through simple, unambiguous performance metrics capable of transcending cultural and economic boundaries.

a connectionist Production System with approximate matching function
IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 1993Co-Authors: K Sanou, Steve G Romaniuk, Lawrence O HallAbstract:A hybrid symbolic/connectionist implementation of a Production System with an approximate matching function is presented. The authors demonstrate the conversion of sequential Production rules into a parallel firing connectionist network consisting of simple cells and providing an approximate matching function. The hybrid symbolic/connectionist Production System (HSC-PS) supports two types of working memory element, the attribute/value pair and the object/attribute/value triplet. An attribute may be either crisp or fuzzy. The degree of match is measured for a condition having a fuzzy attribute and the working memory element which exists for that attribute and is represented by a value between 0 and 1. The strength of firing for a rule is decided by the minimum match of all the conditions in the left hand side of the rule. The strength of firing affects the actual amount of action to be performed on a fuzzy attribute. If two or more actions are to be performed on the same fuzzy attribute, a new action is composed from them and executed. A classic control problem is taken as an example and the results of the HSC-PS are compared with those of a fuzzy logic controller. >

a hybrid symbolic connectionist Production System
International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence, 1992Co-Authors: K Sanou, Steve G Romaniuk, Lawrence O HallAbstract:The task of implementing a simple rule-based Production System in terms of a hybrid symbolic/connectionist architecture is discussed. The aim is to achieve parallel execution of rules. The architecture uses a local representation and builds upon prior work, which resulted in the symbolic/connectionist expert System development tool SC-net. The Hybrid Symbolic/Connectionist Production System (HSC-PS) reported supports two types of working memory elements, the attribute/value pair and the object/attribute/value triplet. HSC-PS can provide variable binding in an individual condition and across conditions and variable value instantiation from the left-hand side to the right-hand side in a rule. The network is constructed from Production rules such that only one value is bound to a variable at any one time. An implementation of the farmer's dilemma planning problem is given to illustrate the potential of this approach. >

intramuscular fatty acid composition of galician mountain foals breed effect of sex slaughtered age and livestock Production System
Meat Science, 2010Co-Authors: Jose M Lorenzo, Clara Fucinos, Laura Purrinos, Daniel FrancoAbstract:The effects of sex, slaughtered age (9 vs. 12 months) and livestock Production System (freedom extensive System vs. semi extensive System) of "Galician Mountain" foals breed on the fatty acid composition were studied. The sex and slaughtered age of the animals had no statistical significance in the intramuscular fatty acids. Furthermore, the livestock Production System showed differences in the fatty acid profiles from the Longissimus dorsi. The feeding System showed significant differences in PUFA content (P<0.001) higher in freedom extensive Production System that semi extensive System, whereas MUFA content was significantly (P<0.001) higher in semi extensive System. This major PUFA content in freedom extensive Production showed a significant (r=0.70, P<0.01) correlation with C18:3n-3 content and can be attributed to their eaten only pasture until slaughtered. The higher MUFA contents (P<0.001) observed for semi extensive Production System foals were very significant (r=0.98, p<0.01) correlated with C18:1cis-9 content and less significant (r=0.81, P<0.01) correlated with C16:1cis-9 content. In addition, the data reinforced the evidence that foals from extensive Production System on wood pasture have a higher nutritional quality (mainly due to the higher levels of n-3 PUFA) when compared to concentrate-fed foals, as a result of the beneficial effects of grass on meat fatty acid profiles.
