What is the impact of Jidoka on the overall production of

TMM? Is it economical
Jidoka in Assembly Line

• To Aid immediate problem detection

a) The beginning and ending of each work station was marked with a green and red light that was drawn at right angles
to the assembly line.
b) Putting in place an Andon cord that, when pulled, activated a flashing light, started playing loud music, and lit the
"address number" displayed on the Andon board for the respective work station.
c) Team leader rushed to workstation to see if problem is correctable
I. If the problem can be fixed, the team leader will turn off the light, and production will carry on.
II. If not, the line segment will stop at the red line, which will attract the attention of the group leaders and stop
production until the problem is solved.

• Facilitate Visual Control

a) The floor was sectioned up with a variety of coloured tapes so that it was clear where everything that could be seen
belonged.
b) Any variation from the typical conditions is immediately apparent in this environment.
Jidoka in Quality Control

It serves as Andon Pull for manager

a) Assembly group works with QC to figure out what's wrong while repairing cars in the clinic area.
b) When 8 cars were in the clinic area, the assembly line was shut down.
c) It stops problems from happening in the first place.

 
Yes it is economical
1. It stops making cars after 8 are defected. It lowers the cost of repairing the car after final assembly.
2. It helps the manager find problems early on and figure out where they came from. This is called "mistake
proofing," and it cuts costs.
