Publishers Foreword JUST AS WE have been recognizing the greatness of Mr - photo 16
Publisher's Foreword

JUST AS WE have been recognizing the greatness of Mr. Shigeo Shingo, we also recognize the genius of Mr. Taiichi Ohno. It was Mr. Ohno who should be credited with the creation of the Toyota just-in-time production system.

I met Mr. Ohno in Japan at Toyoda Gosei where he became chairman after retiring from Toyota Motors. Toyoda Gosei is a Toyota subcontractor manufacturing steering wheels, automobile parts like rubber hoses and plastic dashboards, and other materials.

At our last meeting I asked him where Toyota was today in the improvement process. By now, the company must have reduced all work-in-process inventory - lowering the water level in the river to expose all the rocks, enabling them to chip away at all the problems.

"What is Toyota doing now?" I asked.

His answer was very simple.

"All we are doing is looking at the time line," he said, "from the moment the customer gives us an order to the point when we collect the cash. And we are reducing that time line by removing the non-value-added wastes."

Simple but brilliant It gives a very clear focus to continuous improvement - photo 17

Simple but brilliant. It gives a very clear focus to continuous improvement. Where we in the West would look immediately for some magic automatic miracle like computer integrated manufacturing (CIM), robotics, or advanced manufacturing techniques, the Japanese are simply reducing wastes. Of course, some wastes can be removed by acquiring new equipment but that should be done last - not first.

There is nothing very complex in the magic of Mr. Ohno's teachings. In fact, it is often confusing listening to him because he talks so simply, often just saying to look for and eliminate waste. We cannot believe that it is that simple - but it is true. Just reduce the time line by removing any wastes.

Mr. Ohno's simple tale told in the book is brilliant and should be read by managers everywhere. It is not just a tale of manufacturing, it is a tale of how to run a business successfully. Mr. Ohno went back and reviewed how Henry Ford ran his business. Henry Ford was able to mine iron ore on a Monday and, using that very same iron ore, produce a car coming off the assembly-line-on Thursday afternoon.

Henry Ford also focused on the total elimination of nonvalued-added wastes. Mr. Ohno just simply updated Henry Ford. He reduced changeover times with the help of Mr. Shingo from days and hours to minutes and seconds. He eliminated job classifications to give workers flexibility.
