Toyota is the implementation of lean production company, also made the first success of the Company. Speaking of Toyota's lean production, many companies know everything, but also will promote, but not be able to comprehend the true Toyota lean production, the lower they led everybody to understand the real Toyota lean production.
Because many elements of language, technology, work experience, Chinese companies failed to firmly grasp the "Toyota lean production," the basic core concept. Ohno said: "The complete removal of Muda" is "Toyota lean production," the basic core concept of keeping the core concept depends on several core content, namely "JustinTime" and "automation technology."
Of particular note is, "Muda", "JustinTime", "automation" and so the whole narrative of the Toyota Production special type of Japanese, could not find in Chinese, but also can not find it, and exactly the same Chinese characters. But most of their respective Chinese translated as "extravagant", "time" and "Automatic." Vague on the definition of a key block in hindering China's implementation of TPS.
1. "Muda" not "extravagant":
"absolutely clear Muda" is "Toyota lean production," the basic core concepts, know precisely "Muda" is popularization and promotion in China LEAN and "Toyota Production System" Can get focused on success.
2. "JustinTime" is not English:
Justintime is one of the two support Toyota production system, but it is not English.
Kiichiro Toyoda best description of JustinTime: "The industrial production as comprehensive as the automobile industry, car assembly in the work, it is best to make each member JustinTime be centralized at the edge of the assembly line."
Ohno one pair JustinTime showed that: JustinTime is the first generation of Kiichiro Toyoda, on behalf of the Japanese culture of the English word language, English is the Japanese system, concrete is not English.
3. "Jidoka" not "automation":
In Japanese, "dynamic" and "Dong" are two different words, phonetic pronunciation and practical significance is not the same. "Action" is immediately introduced from the Chinese, "Dong" is the Japanese-made Chinese characters. In order to show "self-Dong" of the first to show that the associated "Dynamic" and "Dong" in the Toyota Production System.
Toyota lean production, the Chinese can not be completely consistent with the Japanese there are many, such as: can rate, leveling, Jia Dong rates, job specification, and so on. In particular, our company has many technical jargon related to manufacturing, if at the time of learning the Toyota Production System to define a very different type of language to replace them, it is worth the candle, to hinder the TPS manufacturing in China to promote. Now that want to learn the Toyota lean production, it should define and clarify the core concept of the first, oh.
