Abstract
The Toyota Production System (TPS) exemplifies Japanese manufacturing, though it has since been further developed and spread in the form of internationally shared global production systems, including Just in Time (JIT). As a result, TPS is no longer a proprietary technology of Japan. This study focuses on the strategic deployment of Advanced TPS through New JIT, new management technology principle that surpasses conventional JIT practices. Specifically, the authors develop the New Japan Global Production Model “NJGPM”, a system designed to achieve worldwide uniform quality and production at optimal locations - keys to successful global production. The effectiveness of NJ-GPM is demonstrated at Toyota, a leading international corporation.
