7. LEAN PRODUCTION: TOYOTA’S LEAN PRODUCT SYSTEM APPROACH
Steeped in the philosophy of "the complete elimination of all waste"
imbuing all aspects of production in pursuit of the most efficient methods.
the TPS can efficiently and quickly produce vehicles of sound
quality, one at a time, that fully satisfy customer requirements.
TOYOTA’S TWO PRIMARY PILLARS:
JIDOKA:
Highlighting/visualization
of problems
JUST IN TIME:
Making only "what is needed,
when it is needed, and in the
amount needed!"

8. LEAN THINKING
1. Specify customer needs/wants AND how you add or
create value
2. Identify the process and remove the wasted steps that
don't create value
3. Empower people to avoid bottlenecks that break the
work flow to shorten cycle time
4. Enable a pull system for customers, opposed to having
to push to them
5. Test, deploy, and iterate to a destination or end goal
based on feedback and metric performance

25. PLANNING & NEXT STEPS
•Determine what you will test AND how you
will benchmark its success
•What one variable will you test?
•Are there other variables to test?
- If yes, Prioritize them and rapid fire test
each one by one

28. HOW TO PRIORITIZE WHEN EVERYTHING IS A PRIORITY
Be Honest
Reality check! Be realistic about your bandwidth and that of your team.
When timeline is not realistic, put the task in a “wish list” in case you have time.
Make a List
• Write down everything that needs to get done by the end of the program
• Separate the items into: urgent vs. non-urgent
Assess the Value
• Of the MUST DO’s what tasks have greater ramifications if not complete?
• Of the LIKE TO EXPLORE which opportunities have the greatest upside if successful?
8 minutes
5 minutes
5 minutes
Cut the Cord:
Give yourself a time limit
PARTING SUGGESTIONS:
Be flexible:
You must be able to deal with
changing priorities

29. GO!!!!
No, really go!!!
Have fun, make mistakes, learn and iterate.
