Toyota Production System

The Toyota Production System (TPS) is a manufacturing approach developed by Toyota to enhance efficiency and quality. It emphasizes two main principles: "Just-in-Time," which means producing only what is needed, when it's needed, and "Jidoka," which focuses on stopping production to fix problems immediately. This system aims to eliminate waste, improve productivity, and enhance the quality of products by empowering workers to identify and solve issues. TPS promotes continuous improvement and strives for a streamlined process that maximizes value while minimizing resources, serving as a model for many industries worldwide.
