Implementing Toyota Production System (TPS) concept in a small automotive parts manufacturer

This study investigates the consequences of implementing Toyota Production System (TPS) in the local automotive parts manufacturer production line. The production line consisted of three different processes and two inter-process buffers. A verified base model was created using WITNESSTM computer sim...
