According to FORBS Magazine ranking depends on Best-Selling “Toyota corolla” is the number

one best-selling car in the world in 2017. Toyota invented lean system for their manufacturing.
Now a day the Toyota Production System (TPS) is one of the most leading production system for
car manufacturing industry.
TPS looks simple from outside as like a set of tools and procedure. But beyond this through the
process of continuous improvement, Toyota built a learning organization over 50 years. For this
Toyota invented Lean system. Through lean system to increase efficiency and reduce waste , it is
required to constant improvement and to find a better way to do their employees work stimulatory
and also Toyota teaches their all level employees how to use the scientific method of problem
solving.
Toyota Production System (TPS) is formed over four principles. These principles are mentioned
below:
1) All work must be completely specified as to content, sequence, timing and outcome.
2) Every customer supplier connection must be direct, clearly specifying the people involved,
the form and quantity of the services or goods to be provided, the requesting way are made
by each customer and the expected time in which the requests will be met.
3) The working way for every service and product must be simple and direct. They do not
follow to the next available person or machine but to a specific person or machine.
4) Any improvement to the system must be made in accordance with the scientific method,
under the guidance of a teacher, at the lowest possible organizational level.
Though these four principles are simple, they are difficult but not impossible to replicate. Toyota's
lean system made them an innovative leader in the automobile industry and working behind their
success history.
Analysis 01:
There are so many automobile manufacturing industries around the world but they are not as much
successful as the Toyota production system (TPS). Just because of their application of lean system
in the production. For running lean system efficiently, Toyota needs constant improvement and to
reduce wastage. That’s why through the process of continuous improvement based on a Japanese
concept called kaizen, Toyota built Just in Time (JIT) philosophy and emphasis over scientific
method of problem solving, is the main key of their success.
Analysis 02:
For replicating Just in Time (JIT) philosophy in Toyotas production system (TPS), Toyota formed
four principles.
In the first principles Toyota tried to say that all work must be done in details and specifically.
There every content, sequence, timing and outcome of working process is mentioned in a proper
and detailed way. Because when every works is mentioned in a details way then it is possible to
reduce wastage and doing the work in shortest possible time. Otherwise improvement process is
missing.
Analysis 03:
After every works are listed with the details then it is needed for doing the work in a shortest
possible time with efficiently, to direct communication with customer and supplier. For this
reasons in this principle, Toyota emphasis over direct connection such as employee to employee,
company to company with customer and supplier and clearly specifying the people who involved,
the product or goods which provided and also the way the request is made by customer and the
expected time to deliver. By formulating this principles Toyota makes their production system
easy and effective because through direct communication Toyota easily came to know about
customer and supplier demands, depending on them adding value in their product and providing
best service in time what they want to make leading production system in the industries.
Analysis 04:
For effective production system a simple and direct pathway is needed for every service and
product after ensuring specific working details with specifying communication way. That's why
Toyota establishing this principle for their TPS and tried to say that everyone is not perfect for
every work. So, do not order next available person for doing the job. By this principles Toyota
tried to focus over effective and skilled employees. Many unnecessary cost will be happened just
because of unskilled employees and value of the product is reduced for them. For that reason,
Toyota do not do their job in available persons for avoiding their wastage and removing non-value-
added activities.
Analysis 05:
Above all principles are treated as "hypothesis" about the way the system should work. And
hypothesis is not accepted until they are followed scientific method. That's why in the fourth
principles Toyota formed that any improvement to Toyota’s production system must be happened
in accordance with the scientific method followed to the scientific management and the method
should be guided under a teacher, that's why every employee learn about scientific method at the
lowest possible organizational level means many employers actively involved doing the work in
making the improvement.
By formulating above these four principles Toyota tries to establish Just in Time (JIT) philosophy
which helps their lean system. Using these principles Toyota eliminated their wastage by cutting
unnecessary events and removing non-value-added activities in the process. With the helping of
this principles Toyota producing quality products efficiently through the complete elimination of
waste, inconsistencies, and unreasonable requirements on the production line. In order to deliver
a vehicle ordered by a customer as quickly as possible, the vehicle is efficiently built within the
shortest possible period of time. These four principles are very simple but it faces problem at the
time to apply. Afterward those organizations successfully implement those they enjoy the benefits
of lean system like Toyota which is now an innovative leader in the automobile industries.
