1- Eliminate Waste.
2- Respect for People.
1- Elimination of Waste:
To the Japanese, waste means anything that's more than the bare
minimum needed for production—like extra equipment, materials, or workers.
So, if you don't need something right away, making it anyway is seen as
wasteful.
This notion consists of seven essential elements:
Just – In - Time
After setting up the monthly production plan, Japanese companies break it down into daily
goals. They calculate how much they need to make each day and figure out how long it takes
to make one item from start to finish. They focus on making exactly what's needed each day,
without worrying about running their machines at full speed. So, they're more concerned about
meeting the demand precisely rather than maximizing their machines' output.
vi) KANBAN APRODUCTION CONTROL SYSTEM:
In this approach, having a straightforward and automatic control
system is important for effective management oversight. On the shop floor, they use
a system called Kanban, which is like a card in Japanese. It's a paperless system
where they use special containers and recycle cards to keep track of what needs to
be done and when. This system works like a pull system, meaning work centres and
suppliers follow schedules and do their tasks based on these cards. And it's all done
manually, without relying on computers or fancy technology.
The flow of Kanban cards between two work centres is depicted below.

Machine centre assembly line
Storage
The machining centre is producing two parts, A and B, which are stored in standard
containers next to the work centre.
When the assembly line needs part A, a worker takes a card from the container and
goes to the storage area.
1- There, the worker finds a container of part A, switches the card with the
one she brought, which lets her move the container.
2- The card she took off is then put on a rack near the machining centre,
telling them to make more of part A.
3- Parts are made in the order the cards are on the rack, making the cards on
the rack a list of what needs to be made next.
The Kanban system works the same way for authorizing shipments from
suppliers. When both the customer and supplier use Kanban, the withdrawal
card acts as the shipping document for the supplier, while the production card
at the supplier's place controls their production. Having cooperative workers
is really important for this system to work well. Just-In-Time (JIT) helps boost
productivity, turnover of inventory, and cuts down on overtime and space
needed.

Numerical Example:
Let’s say you work at a stationery company and use special card stock. You
don’t want to order too much and overload the office with supplies, but you always want
to have enough on hand. How do you know when to order more card stock?
• N = 500*2(1+.10)/100
• N = 1,000(1.10)/100
• N = 1,100/100
• N = 11
This means that you’ll see a kanban card indicating you need to purchase more inventory
when you have 11 boxes of card stock left.
