Document Summary
Central to tps is employee learning & a continuing effort to produce products under ideal conditions. Subassemblies are transferred to the assembly line on a jit basis. Jit/lean operations: good production systems require that managers address three issues pervasive and fundamental to operations management: eliminate waste, remove variability, and improve throughput. Jit is a philosophy of continuous and forced problem solving via a focus on throughput and reduced inventory. Tps emphasizes continuous improvement, respect for people and standard work practices. Lean production supplies the customer with their exact wants when the customer wants it without waste. Tps emphasizes employee learning and empowerment in an assembly line environment. Waste: anything that does not add value from the customer"s perspective. Storage, inspection, delay, waiting, and defective products are 100% waste. Other resources such as energy, water, and air are often wasted. Others: safety: build good practices & support/maintenance: reduce variability and unplanned downtime.
