Instead, as with many things in life, in order to fully understand what total quality management is, what it’s various facets are, and how it gets implemented, it is necessary to explore first hand how real corporation define and use total quality management. In this paper, I will analyze the way in which the Toyota Motor Corporation uses total quality management, with a specific focus on the Toyota Production System and the three main tools by which Toyota Motor Corporation manages total quality management.
Table of Contents- While total quality management has been an integral part of the American business world since the late 1940's, it has not been an exclusively American business practice.
- Total quality management in manufacturing starts with taking a random sample of product and performing statistical tests to maintain quality assurance
- While the total quality management tools listed above can be applicable to any manufacturing firm in any industry, each organization has it's own form of total quality management specifically tailored to meet specific business goal.
- Thus, a just-in-time production system not only reduces costs for Toyota Motor Corporation, but also is an integral part to improving efficiency and ingenuity.
- The second part of the Toyota Production System is the ability to stop the manufacturing process at any time, or simply Jidoka.
- By ensuring that the work being performed is being done in a specific way, it is possible to identify where and why a production defect has occurred.
- In conclusion, the specific set of total quality management tactics that are employed by Toyota Motor Corporation to improve the quality of its production process is known as the Toyota Production System.

SummaryTotal Productive Maintenance (TPM) manufactures activities that are productive and implemented by everyone in the organization. The main focus of TPM is to maximize the overall equipment effectiveness of the asset which is utilized to produce the goods and services.
TPM focus on establishing good maintenance practice through five goals:
• Improving equipment effectiveness
TPM wants to insure the equipment can perform to design specifications. The effectiveness of facilities can be identified and examined by downtime losses, speed losses and defect losses.
• Improving maintenance effectiveness
TPM focus on maintenance activities which are carried out on the equipment are performed in a cost effective way.
• Early equipment management and maintenance prevention
This goal of TPM is to reduce maintenance activities required by the equipment. It involves the identification nature and preventive maintenance level which are required for the equipment, the creation standards for condition-based maintenance, and the respective responsibilities for both maintenance and operating staff.
• Training all staff in relevant maintenance skills
The maintenance and operating staff need to have all the necessary skills to carry out TPM. TPM emphasizes appropriate and continuous training.
• Involving Operators in Routine Maintenance
This goal is to let operators find maintenance tasks related to the equipment they perform. These tasks are about 10-40% of routine maintenance tasks performed on the equipment. Formerly engaged in these activities, maintenance resources can be redeployed in more advanced maintenance activities such as reliability focused maintenance activities or predictive maintenance.
