Introduction The Toyota Production System (TPS) is a lean production Operations Management technique, steeped in the philosophy of operational efficiency, operational sustainability, operational effectiveness, and quality, with focus on waste elimination, innovation and human rights (Toyota Motor Corporation, 2015a; Toyota Motor Manufacturing, 2015). At its foundation, TPS utilizes the guiding ideologies of “Just-In-Time” production, or efficient resource management, and “Jidoka,” or quality assurance

Abstract Toyota today is one of the leading lean example in today’s manufacturing market. Starting back in the 1930’s with the idea of Just-in-Time to cut down cost in waste from overstocked storage rooms to a better efficient assembly lines who produced what was needed at a certain time. The Kanban system is one of the most used methods that the Japanese found during the 1950’s during a trip to United States in a super market.   Kanban Systems Lean manufacturing originated long before Toyota and Ford

Most manufacturing companies in the world have adopted some type of “lean initiative,” and this concept is now spreading to a diverse range of organizations, including the defense

Just in time is also referred to as just in time production. It is a method in which projected mainly at reducing flow times within production system of an organization as well as response times from suppliers and to customers. The major advantage of utilizing this theory is that it moderates materials usage as well as raw material wastage. This approach aids in customizing the vehicle as per the demand of the client and expectation. The main disadvantage of applying just in time is that the clients
