Description
Contents
The Just In-Time (JIT) manufacturing system in still in use by its founder, Toyota Motor Corporation, but it is constantly being improved.
Toyota Production System, Third Edition, systematically describes the changes that have occurred to the most efficient production system in use today. Since the publication of the first edition of this book in 1983, Toyota has integrated JIT with computer integrated manufacturing technology, a strategic information system, redesign of assembly lines, and a philosophy that incorporation respect for workers.
Even today, the goals of producing the necessary items in the necessary quantity at the necessary time are the drivers of JIT. The addition of computer integrated technology, information systems technology, and changes that boost worker morale and improve working conditions serve to further reduce costs, improve quality, and improve cycle time. The Toyota production system considers how to adapt production schedules to the demand changes in the marketplace while satisfying the goals of low cost, high quality, timely delivery, and improved worker morale.
Toyota production System, Third Edition, is written for both practitioner and academic. Inside, you'll find a balanced and broad approach to the Japanese production system. You'll learn how Toyota integrates manufacturing, information system, and continuous improvement activities to maintain its competitive edge and respond to market demands with quality products.
