Innovative Applications for the Toyota Production System

The Toyota Production System, developed by Toyota in the mid 1900s, is still a standard for companies worldwide and remains ingrained in Toyota’s culture globally. The system was founded on pursuing the elimination of all waste from production processes, though other industries including service organizations are also benefiting from TPS. At Toyota’s own manufacturing facilities, integrating forklifts into daily operations is proving to deliver efficiencies and enable quality, safety, productivity, and profitability improvements.
