丰田生产方式在家具生产中的案例研究

Case Study of TPS in Furniture Manufacturing

丰田生产方式(TPS)中有5个通常被公认的制造系统是当前的制造系统设计。TPS 的功能与运营和其他制造体系有所不同。TPS 比普通的功能型加工车间制造系统在各方面都使用更少的东西。另外,TPS 的应用可以让缺陷更少,因而提高质量。TPS的基本原理是:制造和安装单元,推式生产理念,全部优质产品,准时供贷,尊重人,以及最大程度地优化不可折旧的资源——人员和原材料。丰田生产方式用它的单元制造子系统来提高生产力。单元制造子系统是柔性化的,而且是为生产高品质产品、准时、尽可能低的成本、连续的基准而设计的。本文报阐述了将一个美国的沙发制造工厂转变成一个应用丰田制造系统的工厂的研究。

There are five generally recognized manufacturing systems With Toyota Production System （TPS） being the most recent manufacturing system design. The TPS is functionally and operationally different from any other manufacturing system. The TPS uses less of everything when compared to the common functional job shop manufacturing system. In addition, the implementation of TPS by a manufacturer results in fewer defects; and therefore, an increase in quality. The fundamentals of the TPS are： manufacturing and assembly cells, pull system methodology, 100 percent good quality, ontime delivery every time, respect for people, and maximum utilization of non-depreciable people and raw materials. The Toyota Production System uses its cellular manufacturing subsystem for increased productivity. The cellular manufacturing subsystem is flexible while designed to produce superior quality products, on-time, at the lowest possible cost, and on a continuous basis.
