Q

What is the Toyota’s Phylosophy

A

Toyota’s philosophy
• Selling price – Cost = Profit
• Customers decide the selling price.
• Profit is what remains after subtracting the cost from it.
• The main way to increase profit is to reduce cost.
• Consequently, cost reduction through waste elimination
should have the highest priority.
• Toyota’s paradox: Reducing cost (waste), will reduce lead
time while increasing quality and customer satisfaction.
• How? We will discuss it soon.

Q

Jidoka Techniques

A

• Poka-yoke (mistake or error proofing)

– A form of device for building-in quality at each production process.
– This device may take many shapes and designs.
– Typical types of Pokayoke are sensors, proximity switches, stencils, light guards and alignment pins.

Simple circuitry is usually used to operate these electrical error proof devices as they should be of low cost and simple design.

– Goal: Finding defects before they occur = Zero Defects
– Statistical Quality Control (SQC): Finding defects after they occur
• Visual management including using Andon Lamp

Q

Explain 5’s

A

– Seiri - keep only what is absolutely necessary, get rid of things that you don’t need, i.e. simplify or sort. SORT
– Seiton - create a location for everything, i.e. organize
or straighten. STRAIIGHTEN
– Seiso - clean everything and keep it clean, i.e. cleanliness or sweep. SWEEP
– Seiketsu - implement Seiri, Seiton and Seiso plant wide, i.e. standardize. STANDARDIZEE
– Shitsuke - assure that everyone continues to follow the rules of 5S,i.e. stick to it or SELF-DISCIPLINE

Q

Why variability ocurrs?

A
  • Employees, machines, and suppliers produce units that do not conform to standards, are late, or are not the proper quantity
  • Engineering drawings or specifications are inaccurate
  • Production personnel try to produce before drawings or specifications are complete
  • Customer demands are unknown

Q

What are the different types of Production System

A
  • Fixed position
  • Functional layout
  • Batch flow
  • Line flow
  • Continuous process
17
Q

Fixed position

A
  • Construction-, power- and ship building
  • Few products (one piece)
  • Production system special for each project
  • Generic and flexible equipment
18
Q

Functional layout (jobshop)

A
  • Machine oriented
  • Sequence flexibility
  • Many different products in small volumes
19
Q

Batch flow

A
  • Product oriented
  • High value added in the group
  • Few products, few variants in higher volumes
20
Q

Line flow

A
  • Product oriented
  • Mass production, even and high demand
  • Machine or operator controled
  • Low flexibility, dedicated equipment
21
Q

Continuous flow

A
  • High level of automation
  • Physically linked units
  • Production measured in tons, liters, meters etc
  • Limited product range
22
Q

Product-Process relation

A
SHIP BUILDING (Low Volume One piece- Fixed Position)
HEAVY  EQUIPMENT (Funtional Layout, Low Volume.´, many variants
TRUCK (BACTH FLOW. INTERMEDIA)
LIINE FLOW (FEW PRODUCTS, HIGH VOLUME)
CONTINUOUS FLOW (Process Industry, High Volume)
