The Pillars of The Toyota Production System Are Built Upon A Stable Foundation of Standardized Work and Continuous Improvement

The Toyota Production System is built on standardized work and continuous improvement. Its main goals are reducing costs, eliminating waste, and responding to customer needs. Key aspects of the system include Heijunka for leveling production, Kaizen for continuous quality improvement, Takt Time to set the production rate, and evaluating the 4Ms - Man, Machine, Material, Method.

The pillars of the Toyota Production System are built upon a stable

foundation of standardized work and continuous improvement.


Major objectives were to reduce cost, eliminate waste, and respond to
the changing needs of the customers.
Heijunka –

  levelling technique to facilitate to smooth out production in all


departments, as well as that of suppliers over a period of time. It helps
in facilitating JIT.
 Fluctuation normally occurs through either customer demand or within
production itself.
 TPS uses Heijunka to solve the former by assembling a mix of models
within each batch, and ensuring that there is an inventory of product
proportional to variability.
Kaizen –
 A process that helps to ensure maximum quality, the elimination of
waste, and improvements in efficiency
 Kaizen activities include measures for improving equipment, as well as
improving work procedures.
  Toyota Production System, Kaizen humanises the workplace,
empowering individual members to identify areas for improvement and
suggest practical solutions.

Takt Time-total demand/time available, i.e. time per unit of product, rate at which the product
should be produced.

4M –
 The variables that a production system manipulates to produce value for
customers. The first three are resources, the fourth is the way the resources
are used.
 Evaluating the 4Ms aids in evaluating areas where small changes can focus
improvement efforts in the three key areas of quality, cost and delivery time.

Skewness is a measure of symmetry, or more precisely, the lack of symmetry. A
distribution, or data set, is symmetric if it looks the same to the left and right of
the centre point.
Any symmetric data should have a skewness near zero. Negative values for the
skewness indicate data that are skewed left and positive values for the skewness
indicate data that are skewed right
 Data sets with high kurtosis tend to have heavy tails, or outliers. Data sets with
low kurtosis tend to have light tails, or lack of outlier.
Positive kurtosis indicates a "heavy-tailed" distribution and negative kurtosis
indicates a "light tailed" distribution.

Reliability analysis determines the overall consistency of a scale.


Measure of internal consistency ("reliability"). The reliability of all the below
factors is determined by the Cronbach’s Alpha.
General rule of thumb is that a Cronbach's alpha of 0.70 and above is good,

Internal consistency describes the extent to which all the items in a test measure
the same concept or construct and hence it is connected to the inter-relatedness
of the items within the test
