Ohno Taiichi (大野耐一, Ōno Taiichi, February 29, 1912 – May 28, 1990) was a Japanese industrial engineer and businessman. He is considered to be the father of the Toyota Production System, which inspired Lean Manufacturing in the U.S. [1] [2] He devised the seven wastes (or muda in Japanese) as part of this system.
Taiichi Ohno quoted from the book says " 'Just In Time' should be interpreted to mean that it is a problem when parts are delivered too early". [ 21 ] Chapter 23 How To Produce At A Lower Cost - "One of the main fundamentals of the Toyota System is to make 'what you need, in the amount you need, by the time you need it', but to tell the truth ...
It is a major component of problem-solving training, delivered as part of the induction into the Toyota Production System. The architect of the Toyota Production System, Taiichi Ohno, described the five whys method as "the basis of Toyota's scientific approach by repeating why five times [5] the nature of the problem as well as its solution ...
News about just-in-time/Toyota production system reached other western countries from Japan in 1977 in two English-language articles: one referred to the methodology as the "Ohno system", after Taiichi Ohno, who was instrumental in its development within Toyota. [17]
The JIT workflow of Toyota had a problem of tool changeover taking between two and eight hours. [citation needed] Setup time and lot reduction had been ongoing in Toyota's production system since 1945 when Taiichi Ohno became manager of the machine shops at Toyota. On a trip to the US in 1955, Ohno observed Danly stamping presses with rapid die ...
Kanban (Japanese: 看板 meaning signboard) is a scheduling system for lean manufacturing (also called just-in-time manufacturing, abbreviated JIT). [2] Taiichi Ohno, an industrial engineer at Toyota, developed kanban to improve manufacturing efficiency. [3] The system takes its name from the cards that track production within a factory.
Taiichi Ohno, "father" of the Toyota Production System, originally identified seven forms of muda or waste: [6] Seven types of waste identified in lean manufacturing. A mnemonic may be useful for remembering the categories of waste, such as TIM WOOD or TIM WOODS (with the S referring to Skills). [7]
The first example of this at Toyota was the auto-activated loom of Sakichi Toyoda that automatically and immediately stopped the loom if the vertical or lateral threads broke or ran out. For instance rather than waiting until the end of a production line to inspect a finished product, autonomation may be employed at early steps in the process ...
