软包家具的现代制造系统

The Modern Manufacturing System for Upholstered Furniture

在丰田最新的生产系统方案(TPS)中有5种制造体系是被广泛认可的。TPS在功能上和操作性方面不同于任何一种制造体系。与其它通常的功能性工作作坊式的制造体系相比,TPS所使用的任何东西都要较少一些。此外,制造商利用TPS进行生产,产品的缺陷较少,因此品质较高。TPS的原理是制造和组装单元、"拉式"的方法论、100%的优质、每一批产品的及时供货、对人的尊重、对不可浪费的资源即人和原材料的最大化利用。丰田的生产体系运用它的单元制造子系统来提高劳动生产率。单元制造子系统在用来生产优质产品、及时供货、以可能的最低成本和进行连续性的生产等方面的灵活性较高。本文报告了美国软包家具制造商转变成"丰田式"工厂方面的应用研究成果。

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, on-time delivery every time, respect for people, and maximum utilization of non-depreciable resources--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. This paper reports the applied research utilized to convert a U.S. upholstery furniture manufacturer into a TPS factory.
