<strong>PIP</strong> 115: LEAN PRODUCTION SYSTEM :<br />
THE TOYOTA WAY<br />
RATIONALE<br />
Lean principles build the foundation of production systems. Therefore,<br />
companies that want to successfully increase their competitiveness<br />
rely on them. The consistent customer-orientation and focus along the<br />
whole value stream is the basis for all analyses, methods and tools that<br />
are adopted in Lean Production.<br />
OBJECTIVES<br />
The main objectives of the Toyota Production Systems (TPS) are to<br />
design out overburden (muri) and inconsistency (mura), and to eliminate<br />
waste (muda). The most significant effects on process value delivery<br />
are achieved by designing a process capable of delivering the required<br />
results smoothly; by designing out “mura” (inconsistency). It is also<br />
crucial to ensure that the process is as flexible as necessary without<br />
stress or “muri” (overburden) since this generates “muda” (waste).<br />
Finally the tactical improvements of waste reduction or the elimination<br />
of “muda” are very valuable.
