By Heaven management consulting study that, the use of "small batch mode", you can shorten the lead time of production of various products, which can quickly adapt to changes in customer orders and market demand. It can be said, in order to market demand-oriented or oriented manufacturing methods, the "small batch" The biggest advantage is that the flexible product inventory is minimized and production systems, namely the rapid adaptation to changes in market demand. At Toyota, even orders and delivery changes occur in the month, the production site is also able to quickly adjust and adapt to it, which greatly enhances the Toyota's market competitiveness. The table is the Toyota Production System and conventional batch production systems compared. Table A, B, C represent three kinds of parts. Obviously, if a product P is assembled by A, B, C are three parts together, then the Toyota Production System can begin assembling the product P in the first five days after production, and conventional production systems must be put into operation until after the 9th days before the start of assembly products. The reason for this is due to differ materially from the Toyota Production System uses a small batch processing method. And in the context of the economy to achieve small batch processing technology to ensure the equipment is installed quickly adjust to change. Fast loading equipment exchange adjustment is Toyota's considered one of the key factors in improving industrial competitiveness, but also to achieve JIT is an important technical support. Therefore, Toyota preparedness in terms of equipment quickly a lot of exploration, research and improved long-term unremitting efforts and achieved amazing success. After finishing Tianxingjian management consultancy that, as early as 1970, Toyota have successfully installed the engine cover stamping equipment commutation adjustment time from 4 hours shortened to three minutes. As another example, Toyota will bolt a machining machine commutation process Kerb time from 8 hours shortened to 58 seconds! This change is really hard to believe, but they do happen. Currently, Toyota installed for adjustment of operations for all processing equipment can be completed within 10 minutes, the average time is only 1/40 of the original. Create such a miracle is Toyota's invention SMED method, that is, "within 10 minutes preparedness law."
