Toyota Production System Quiz

By leansixsigma • on September 4, 2008

From Wikipedia:

The Toyota Production System (TPS) is the philosophy which organizes manufacturing and logistics at Toyota, including the interaction with suppliers and customers. The TPS is a major part of the more generic Lean manufacturing. It was largely created by the founder of Toyota, Sakichi Toyoda, his son Kiichiro Toyoda, and the engineer Taiichi Ohno; they drew heavily on the work of W. Edwards Deming and the writings of Henry Ford.

But how much do you really know about the Toyota Production System?

Take this quiz and add your results below … no cheating!
