The importance of Information Monthly and Daily Information

Toyota is a member of two types of information on suppliers: First is a monthly production plan which has been determined previously notified to suppliers in the middle of the month before. By using the monthly production plan has been determined in advance, the supplier will determine the date of the following plans:

1. Cycle time of each process
2. Routine operation reorder raw labor allocation in accordance with a cycle time in each process.
3. The number of spare parts and materials to be ordered on the sub suppliers
4. The number of kanban for each sub-suppliers

Supplier Kanban and sequence schedule used by the supplier

Sometimes a very powerful businessmen may order its suppliers to deliver parts on time (JIT). In this case, if the plant on the retailer to implement Kanban system without changing its own production system. Kanban system will be something that is heavy for its suppliers. Although the kanban system is a very effective way to realize the concept of JIT. This system should not be applied to the supplier without any change in the overall production system user company. Kanban system is only a subsystem of the Toyota production system requires a total reorganization of the existing production system.

The Quality Control Circle Tools

The method presented the results of improvement should be carried out effectively and systematically. Submission must be understood by everyone and comprehensive. Results are accurate and systematically obtained from the appropriate data collection, appropriate methods, use of assistive devices, use of software for data analysis as appropriate.

Several tools and methods of presenting the results of improvement for the QCC Tools;
1. Process flow chart
2. Check sheet
3. brainstorming
4. Pareto diagram
5. histogram
6. Run Chart
7. decision Matrix
8. Cause and effect diagram
9. radar Chart

Mastery of the situation will be very important research project. For that a project must involve people who are In-Charge and working in the relevant section. Person In charge who really understand the process flow, and the problem of raw materials, machinery and the type of damage that often occurs and the process of repair, defective products produced along with the frequent and so forth. Therefore, when there are problems can be directly aware of the problem point and picture completion.

Six sigma team must really have a solid skill for each job that needed improvement in research. The first one should be someone who really mastered the situation particularly on the process / section that will be the project. And the best person is the PIC (Person In-charge).
