IPM – 2011 1- Muda (無駄) is a traditional Japanese term for an activity that is wasteful and doesn’t add value or is unproductive‚ etymologically none (無)+ trivia or un-useful (駄) in practice or others. It is also a key concept in the Toyota Production System (TPS) and is one of the three types of waste (Muda‚ Mura‚ Muri) that it identifies. Waste reduction is an effective way to increase profitability. Toyota merely picked up these three words beginning with the prefix mu-‚ which in Japan are widely

just in time system. Under such system‚ the inventory or raw materials that the company needs are ordered just in time to be used to the production process. According to Teresko (2007)‚ Toyota’s Production System is one that emphasizes the concept of lean manufacturing systems. Through such process‚ the unnecessary steps and processes in the production procedure are eliminated. By focusing on product development and maximizing the capabilites and capacities of the elements of the production process‚

principle of Lean. By eliminating waste of all sorts in the system‚ the lean approach lowers labour‚ materials‚ and energy costs of production. Lean also emphasizes building exactly the products customers want‚ exactly when they need them. When lean capabilities are introduced in a firm‚ it can produce smaller quantities‚ and it can change outputs more quickly in response to changes in customer demand. The primary objectives of Lean systems are to: 1. Produce only the products that customers want

According to Sloman‚ (2004)‚ production is the transformation of inputs into outputs by firms in order to earn profit. Production can be divided into two types‚ that is short-run production and long-run production. Production in the short-run is the production period of time over which at least one factor is fixed as production in the long-run is the production period of time long enough for all factors to be varied. As mentioned by Sloman‚ (2004)‚ production in the short-run is subject to diminishing

Cost of Production Fixed costs are those that do not vary with output and typically include rents‚ insurance‚ depreciation‚ set-up costs‚ and normal profit. They are also called overheads. Variable costs are costs that do vary with output‚ and they are also called direct costs. Examples of typical variable costs include fuel‚ raw materials‚ and some labour costs. An example Production costs Consider the following hypothetical example of a boat building firm. The total fixed costs‚ TFC‚ include

Job Shop Production usually refers to manufacturers that produce items that are "one of a kind"‚ for example‚ manufactures of automation systems and tooling. Manufacturers who produce a wide variety of items in very low volumes also fall into the job shop category. For example‚ very large mining trucks are produced in volumes typically less than 400 annually. Each truck has thousands of components so you can imagine that there are significant challenges in production scheduling‚ purchasing and inventory

He advances the concept of the mode of production so that the structure of production relations can be analyzed. This concept is a theoretical and abstract tool for Marx’s sociological analysis and his historical periodization. He advances this concept in The German Ideology in the year of 1846. In my paper‚ I want to analyze how Marx conceptualizes the mode of production and how it is related to his other analyses. Marx has a dualistic understanding of production‚ for him every production is indeed a double production: pr
