JIDOKA

(An Improvement Tool of Lean)

 Jidoka is a Japanese word that means Autonomation

 Autonomation – Automation with human intelligence.

 It’s a practice of stopping the process when something goes wrong.

 Originally, this concept was first used in 1896 by Sakichi Toyoda.

 He first invented a textile loom that would stop automatically when it

comes across a defective thread.

 This seemed to be very useful in terms of: Time, Quality & Cost

 Jidoka allows the operation to have a build in quality at each step of a
process, so the operators does not have to watch the machine or the
operation all the time.

 Jidoka is based on :

 Don’t accept defects

 Don’t make defects

 Don’t pass on defects
