Production System

This book, "Enlarging Your Problem-solving footprint" is about involving floor-level personnel in daily improvements as you strive to achieve a TPS-Lean culture. The problematic management paradigm that must be shifted is that these people have been systematically and consciously removed from problem-solving activities. Much of the literature on lean manufacturing has lost sight of the basis of the Toyota Production System, which is, "cost reduction through the elimination of waste." To achieve this objective, you must make two large paradigm shifts, and a litany of lesser ones. First, to ...

Eine medizinische und gesellschaftliche Revolution Lithium ist ein Spurenelement, das seit Urzeiten für die Entwicklung allen Lebens unentbehrlich ist. Der Mensch bildet da keine Ausnahme. Aber leider herrscht ein weit verbreiteter Mangel, der unsere Lebensqualität mindert. Er führt zu einer Zunahme von Depressionen und Alzheimer-Demenz, zu vermehrten Einweisungen in psychiatrische Kliniken, zu mehr gewalttätigem Verhalten, zu höheren Suizidraten und letztlich sogar zu einer verkürzten Lebenserwartung!

Overall equipment efficiency (OEE) shows how well a machine or equipment is performing by comparing the number of defect-free products or parts it makes to its maximum potential output. The OEE of a machine or process at 100 percent means that it is working at its highest possible capacity without any errors. There are three things that make up OEE: availability, performance, and quality. When the actual output is less than expected, professionals can identify areas of improvement in three factors and make changes that maximize the capabilities of the current process, resolve issues, and ...

The food system sustains life itself, but its hidden costs are overwhelming our planet. Agriculture and food production account for roughly a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions, driven by sprawling, resource-intensive processes that prioritize convenience and profit over sustainability. From methane-spewing livestock to the fossil fuels powering transportation and refrigeration, the journey of food to our plates leaves an outsized carbon footprint. Imported avocados, out-of-season strawberries, and individually wrapped snacks are not just indulgences—they're emblematic of a global...

Toyota Motor Corporation made a system to make good products, save money, and make things faster by using less waste. TPS has two main parts, just-in-time and jidoka. It is often shown as a "house" image. To improve TPS and keep it running well, we use a process called PDCA or the scientific method. We do this by doing the same tasks over and over again and making small improvements called kaizen. TPS was created by Taiichi Ohno, who managed production at Toyota after World War II. Ohno began using TPS at Toyota in the 1950s and 1960s, starting with machining work. Then, he started using it...

First Chapter is about hoshin kanri. Lean strategy deployment is still an emerging research topic addressed by only a limited number of references. Some of these references have explained Hoshin Kanri as a tool for strategic management and planning to achieve the goals and they explain how the method aligns corporate strategic objectives as defined and managed by senior managers (at the strategic level) with the plans and activities of middle management and teams (tactical level) and the work done by the employees (operational level). This process is called catching balls, as all three ...

The act of changing a line or machine from making one product to making another is called changeover. Changeover is when we switch from making one product (product A) to making a different product (product B). This involves getting the machines ready and getting everything prepared for the new process. It is considered a waste of time because you are not using the machine at that time, which means you are not producing anything. Additionally, you are still paying the operators and workers even though they are not being productive during that time. When automobile companies need to make new ...

David O. Selznick (1902–1965) was one of the most prominent film producers of the Hollywood studio era. However, film production was not his only domain. Starting in the late 1930s, he built an impressive stable of stars within his own independent company. In Starmaker: David O. Selznick and the Production of Stars in the Hollywood Studio System, author Milan Hain reveals the mechanisms by which Selznick and his collaborators discovered and promoted new stars and describes how these personalities were marketed, whether for financial gain or symbolic recognition and prestige.

Many kaizen programs aim to have a continuous flow, which means processes are constantly moving without interruptions. This is also the ultimate goal of lean production. A "cell" is a group of devices that perform tasks in a certain order, but it is not often to find a smooth and uninterrupted process, which is what makes a cell. In an ideal world, the product would flow smoothly from the beginning to the end, reaching the customer through all the stages of its production. But that would be too much to handle all at once. We need a place where we can focus. That place uses a system called a...

Continuous improvement, also called "Kaizen," means always trying to make things better. It involves making small, gradual changes to processes, systems, and activities in order to keep improving them over time. The aim of getting better constantly is to get rid of unnecessary things and make things go smoother, be better, and make customers happier. Unfortunately, many people wrongly believe that plan-do-check-act (PDCA) is a cycle for improving things without considering the involvement of people. PDCA strives to make process better, but if you only make the process better without ...
