Lean Manufacturing in Toyota Company

Student’s name

Institution’s Affiliation
Lean Manufacturing

After World War II, the Toyota Company was reconstructing, and the major problem

it was facing was lack of enough funds and scarcity of resources. Toyota Company came up

with the lean manufacturing process, which was based on Ford's manufacturing process, and

incorporated them with the Statistical control theories of Edwards Deming (Dave, 2020). The

lean manufacturing process mainly focused on reducing wastage of the already scarce

resources as well as raising the quality of their products. Toyota Company also faced a

challenge of overproduction which relatively hindered the flow of resources, degrading the

quality of their products and reducing their productivity. The adoption of the lean

manufacturing approach solved the problem of overproduction as it only focused on exactly

producing what was needed to be produced. Lean manufacturing also involved employees in

the manufacturing process by allowing them to make some critical decisions, which boosted

their morale and made them more productive in their work. All in all, the Toyota Company

mainly adopted lean manufacturing to eliminate unnecessary waste and improve their

productivity as a company.
