Invention of Automobile Carl Benz is generally given credit for developing the world’s first automobile in 1885. Gotlib Daimler is also a contemporary of Carl Benz who simultaneously developed the automobile with him. Other contemporaries are Wilhelm Maybach and Seigfried Marcus known for developing automobiles later during the same period. C a r l B e n ze G o tlib D ai m ler
Henry Ford’s Mass Production System In 1910 Henry Ford laid the foundation of the first highly organised assembly line system of automobile manufacturing. He organised all the elements of a manufacturing system - people, machines, tooling, and products - and arranged them in a continuous system called a conveyor system. Ford was so incredibly successful he quickly became one of the world's richest men and put the world on wheels. Mass production Limited Variety Mechanisation Increased pay ($2/day to $5) Workers afford product Workplace sanitation.

Toyoda Family in the Auto Industry The Toyoda family were Japanese industrialists who were observing American industrial strength and wanted to emulate it by investing in automotive the industry. Toyoda Automatic Loom Company, under the encouragement of the Japanese government, founded the Toyota Motor Corporation in 1933 under the direction of the founder's son Kiichiro Toyoda.

Taichii Ohno Toyota Production System (TPS) 1950’s Toyota could not justify the Mass Production of vehicles for a smaller domestic Japanese market and thought Japanese consumers required more customisation . Mass Production needs Mass Consumption. Acknowledged smaller lot sizes meant increased downtime and would require an emphasis to reduce set-ups. Focused on elimination of waste …. ALL waste (MUDA) Scheduled Preventative Maintenance Promoted Respect for people.
“Turning Japanese” TPS becomes JIT 1980’s Japan’s excellence in production is now the subject of international study. The metamorphosis is not limited to Toyota, it is in all manufacturing sectors and the phrase on everyone’s lips is Just-in-Time (JIT). Reduce Inventory Eliminate Waste Simplify processes Quality is central Flow Manufacturing Uncover problems Preventative Maintenance Pull Layouts to minimise movement Shigeo Shingo

The 5S process
5S: A place for everything and everything in its place… Visual Systems Visual indicators, e.g. shadow boards Visual signals, e.g. stop/go lights Visual control, e.g. parking space lines Devices that guarantee a correct response, e.g. auto cut-off at the petrol station

JIT becomes Lean 1990’s Lean is externally focused on the customer Supplies the customer with their exact wants, when the customer wants it, without waste. Continuous improvement Pull Uses JIT to produce perfect parts Reduces space requirements Develops close relationships and educates suppliers Develops the workforce Reduces the number of job classes and makes jobs more challenging.

Total Quality Management (TQM) A climate in which an organisation continuously improves its ability to deliver high-quality products and services to customers. TQM enjoyed widespread attention during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. “Is such a thing as TQM or is it merely a potpourri for a diverse set of management initiatives?” ..many companies were paying ‘lip service’ to some elements of TQM ..in particular a declining use of scientific methods .. considered one of the most distinctive features of TQM. Hackman and Wageman (1995)

Ultimately the downfall of BPR was the way companies chose to restructure the organisation , reduce staff numbers and make short term savings Rather than following universal principles, it was found that consultants tend to tailor their BPR efforts to satisfy unique situational conditions faced by their clients – no two BPR projects followed the same principles! ( Kettinger , et al, 1997). Further, Harkness, et al. (1996) suggest that BPR teams often modified their existing (TQM) methods to accommodate more proactive business process change. BPR was watered down and blended with softer TQM methods incorporating smaller projects, PDCA, and active 'bottom-up' participation (Davenport 1995).
