RESUMEN

DEFINITION: The practical expression of Toyota's people and customer-oriented philosophy is known as the
Toyota Production System (TPS). This is not a rigid company-imposed procedure but a set of principles that have been
proven in day-to-day practice over many years. Many of these ideas have been adopted and imitated all over the world.
TPS strives for the absolute elimination of waste, overburden and unevenness in all areas to allow members to work
smoothly and eciently. The foundations of TPS are built on standardization to ensure a safe method of operation and a
consistent approach to quality. Toyota members seek to continually improve their standard processes and procedures to
ensure maximum quality, improve eciency and eliminate waste. This is known as kaizen and is applied to every sphere of
the company's activities.
