Content
Definition and principles of Jidoka (“automation with a human touch”). Historical context: Jidoka in the Toyota Production System. Key components: Autonomation (machines detecting abnormalities and stopping automatically). Visual control and andon systems for immediate response to quality issues. Root cause analysis and corrective action processes. Integration of Jidoka into production flow and quality management systems. Impact on safety, productivity, and continuous improvement (Kaizen). Workshop simulation: Manufacture of a product to apply Jidoka principles and quality control during production.
