DEMONSTRATIVE VERIFICATION STUDY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION PRODUCTION MODEL: APPLICATION OF THE ADVANCED TOYOTA PRODUCTION SYSTEM

Traditional TPS (Toyota Production System), the foundation of JIT (Just in Time), has contributed to global business in the latter half of the 20th century as a Japanese production management system methodology. At present, Japanese companies are endeavoring to survive in a competitive market by expanding their global production, achieving globally consistent levels of quality, and carrying out simultaneous new model launches. An advanced production management principle, "Advanced TPS", has been proposed, involving the systematization of Japanese production management methodologies as a strategic tool for global production. The effectiveness of the proposed "Advanced TPS" was verified at Toyota Motor Corporation.
