TPS Leadership


                                                 





Key Concepts

Kaizen:

  • Japanese term that refers to continuous improvement.

  • A philosophy of making constant small improvements in processes, productivity, and customer satisfaction.

Gemba:

  • The physical place where real work happens (factory, workshop, etc.).

  • Often paired with Genchi Genbutsu: “Go to the real place, observe the problems at the source.”

Legacy of Ritsuo Shingo:

  • Son of Shigeo Shingo (Father of Modern Manufacturing).

  • Translator of the first book on TPS into English.

  • Nobel Prize in Manufacturing.


Principles Applied by Primi Cachero:

  1. Genchi Genbutsu – Observe from the Gemba.

  2. Senaka wo Miseru – Show your back (lead by example).

  3. Never give up!

The Toyota Production System (TPS) is the accumulation of small improvement ideas through acts of leadership.
Leadership begins at the Gemba. Gemba Kaizen starts with a good Lean leader. A good Lean leader begins by being a good person—and a good person is honest, reliable, and capable.
— Ritsuo Shingo

Kai = “change”
Zen = “better”
