Toyota Production System Quotes
- “All we are doing is looking at the time line, from the moment the customer gives us an order to the point when we collect the cash. And we are reducing the time line by reducing the non-value adding wastes.” ~ Taiichi Ohno

- “Improvement usually means doing something that we have never done before.” ~Shigeo Shingo
- “When you are out observing on the gemba, do something to help them. if you do, people will come to expect that you can help them and will look forward to seeing you again on the gemba.” ~Taiichi Ohno.
- “If we reduce batch sizes by half, we also reduce by half the time it will take to process a batch. That means we reduce queue and wait by half as well. Reduce those by half, and we reduce by about half the total time parts spend in the plant. Reduce the time parts spend in the plant and our total lead time condenses. And with faster turn-around on orders, customers get their orders faster.” ~Eliyahu M. Goldratt, The Goal
- “Where there is no standard there can be no Kaizen.” ~Taiichi Ohno, Father of the Toyota Production System.
Progress cannot be generated when we are satisfied with existing situations.” ~Taiichi Ohno
