Description & Coverage
Description:

In today's fast-paced and competitive manufacturing landscape, industries worldwide face the pressing challenge of optimizing production processes to meet ever-growing demands for efficiency, quality, and sustainability. Traditional manufacturing systems often need help to meet these demands, leading to inefficiencies, quality issues, and increased costs. To address these challenges, there is a critical need for a comprehensive understanding of advanced production management principles, such as the Toyota Production System (TPS) and its evolution into the Advanced TPS.

Revolutionary Automobile Production Systems for Optimal Quality, Efficiency, and Cost serves as a definitive guide for scholars seeking to understand and implement the principles of TPS and Advanced TPS in modern manufacturing management. By offering a deep dive into these systems' philosophy, theory, and practical applications, the book equips readers with the knowledge and tools needed to revolutionize their manufacturing processes. From the fundamentals of TPS to the strategic insights of Advanced TPS, readers will gain invaluable insights into how these systems can drive efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness in their organizations.

The book demonstrates the transformative impact of TPS and Advanced TPS on manufacturing management through real-world examples and case studies, highlighting best practices and innovative strategies for achieving operational excellence. Whether you're a scholar looking to expand your knowledge or a practitioner seeking to enhance your organization's manufacturing capabilities, this book offers a compelling solution to modern manufacturing challenges.

Editor/Author Biographies

Kakuro Amasaka was born in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, on May 5, 1947. He received a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Hachinohe National College of Technology, Hachinohe, Japan, in 1968, and a Doctor of Engineering degree specializing in Precision Mechanical and System Engineering, Statistics and Quality Control from Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan, in 1997. Since joining Toyota Motor Corp., Japan, in 1968, Dr. Amasaka worked as a quality management consultant for many divisions. He was an engineer and manager of the Production Engineering Div., Quality Assurance Div., Overseas Engineering Div., Manufacturing Div., and TQM Promotion Div. (1968-1997), and the General Manager of the TQM Promotion Div. (1998-2000). Dr. Amasaka became a professor of the College of Science and Engineering, and the Graduate School of Science and Engineering at Aoyama Gakuin University, Tokyo, Japan in April 2000. Now, he is a professor emeritus of Aoyama Gakuin University (2016-present). His specialties include production engineering (Just in Time and Toyota Production System), statistical science, multivariate analysis, reliability engineering and information processing engineering.
