Abstract: The Toyota motor corporation started in 1933 by Kiichiro Toyoda, the Toyota production system (TPS) was implemented after the CEO visited US companies like Ford, GM to gather the idea about how they improve the production system. for this purpose, they built a TPS house which is structured in 3 parts and shows elements of the system. It is focused on JIT, reduction of waste, cost reduction, Autonomation (Jidoka) and also the implementation of KANBAN and KAIZEN. This TPS foundation is built to always focus on resources which are reliable with minimum disorders and work as a repeatable manual process. My paper emphasizes the idea that Toyota production system is a set of general principles of organizing and managing an enterprise which can help any organization get on a path of positive learning and improvement.

Keywords: TPS, Toyota, Kanban, Kaizen, Standardization, JIT, Autonomation (Jidoka).
