The Toyota Production System (TPS) is regarded as a sophisticated
concept that helps us understand the world of manufacturing. It
evolved from the system of mass-producing cars, established by
Ford, and the Japanese have since endeavored to make their own
universal production system. Though much has been accomplished,
TPS' progress is a continuous process. The theme of this book is
how to understand and learn TPS. There is a TPS concept that seems
to elude many, and that is that manufacturers should be able to
make a product available at the moment a customer comes and asks
for it. There are various ways and various tools that can be used
to pursue the ideal state, and therefore we need to focus on the
basic principles of TPS. This book tries to explain those Toyota
Production System concepts that may otherwise be elusive. This book
focuses on the factory to help readers understand the fundamental
ideology of TPS. The main character started his career as a
technical expert in the R&D division of an automotive Company
and eventually becomes an Instructor of TPS. His broad career in
companies is used to vividly describe the form of the Toyota
Production System. To explain the growth of apprentices of various
titles and positions, this story is woven with several short
stories presented from the perspective of the main character, who
grows from being a group leader to section leader to manager to
general manager. Essentially, this book describes the Toyota
Production System as based on the philosophy: "Always sketching out
and pursuing the ideal state of manufacturing."
