🚗 Toyota
Toyotal believes that waste is anything that doesn't add to what the end user would pay for.
The seven wastes are:
- Over production
- Waiting
- Transporting
- Innapropriate processing
- Unnecessary inventory
- Unnecessary / excess motion
- Defects
Toyota production system is based on two concepts:
jidoka
A Japanese term that can be translated as "automation with human touch". It is a method for quickly idenifying and correcting any idues that could lead to faulty production.
Just in time
Refining and coordinating each production process in a sequence, just when it's needed.
By applying these two concepts, Toyota can produce vehicles quickly and efficiently. Especially, making what is needed when it's needed.
