TPS (Toyota Production System)
The Toyota Production System (TPS) is an approach to manufacturing that emphasizes efficiency and quality. It focuses on eliminating waste, streamlining processes, and empowering workers to improve production. TPS combines two key principles: "Just-In-Time," which means making only what is needed when it’s needed, and "Jidoka," which ensures quality by allowing machines and workers to stop production if problems arise. This system fosters teamwork, continuous improvement, and a strong commitment to customer satisfaction, ultimately resulting in higher productivity and better products. TPS has influenced many industries worldwide, promoting a culture of excellence and innovation.
