Toyota Production System

This video gives a high-level introduction to the Toyota Production System (TPS). It discusses 'Lean' and its origins in the Toyota Production System, which was developed over 30 years by Taiichi Ohno and his colleagues. The system emphasizes on operational stability, just-in-time and jidoka, and focus on continuous improvement or kaizen. The system was found to be effective and efficient not only in Japan but also in Toyota's transplants and joint venture factories in the West. The concept of 'Lean' was first labeled in the 1988 MIT Sloan Management Review article by John Krafcik.

This is one of the videos of the POM4all initiative by Prof. T. Netland at the ETH Zurich. Feel free to use all #POM4all videos as you please in your studies and lectures:)

How about color coding the hoses and tubes depending on the material that pass through them.
