    Establishing TPS in US setting
    Hiring Employee Training Ramp up scheduling

    • Developing effective human • Training employees before plant • Replicating the Tsutsumi line as
    infrastructure construction to save time closely as possible
    • Identifying the hiring employees • Training conducted by • Adopting the waste minimization
    even before the construction of experienced employees from characteristic at the core
    TMM TMC • Deliberate slow Ramp up
    • Instilling work culture based on • Adopting the persuasion schedule to minimize waste
    common sense within employees approach for training
    The Problem
    • The increase in number of seat varieties decreased the run
    ratio to 85%
    • The problem is from the supplier’s side as majority of
    defects are due to missing parts or material flaw
    • KFS ramped up its capacity but did not prepare for the
    proliferation
    • KFS is not following TPS as it never cared to find the defect
    on the production line itself
    How to address the problem?

    Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Option 4


    Try and decrease Help KFS in Avoid Heijunka and Maintain safety
    the number of internalizing the start batch wise stock
    varieties TPS system and production so that
    make it solve its the replacements
    problems on the can be there in a
    production line very small time
    Recommendation

    • In the short term, try to find the defective pieces before they reach the line
    • Reinforce the one-shift replacement policy and help KFS in improving its QC processes
    • In the long term, TMM should concentrate on helping KFS in implementing TPS
    • KFS should be treated as partner rather than a supplier
    • TMM should look at reducing the variety of seats
    • If not possible they should try to work out a plan of delayed differentiation for slow
    moving products
