- catalog abstract "This paper reexamines the logic, as opposed to philosophies and techniques, of the Toyota Production System (TPS) - a model of Japanese manufacturing that has generated a huge amount of literature. In so doing, the paper attempts to clarify assumptions, causal links, and impact on the bottom line while debunking widespread myths that neglect what it is TPS tries to achieve. The paper recasts the system as a set of design principles concerning both the macro and micro process-flow: shortening the minimum lead time of the total process-flow, curtailing information-processing needs, and converting fixed costs into variable costs. The objective is to run a robust business in the face of demand uncertainty and complexity rather than merely maximize the efficiency of production.".
