That's my sandwich ingredients here.

You took up a lot of space then to set about making a load of cars, any color, any color.

It'll just make him and put him out and hope people bought them like my big pile of sandwiches here.

Then, in the 19 fifties, along came a guy called Th e owner from Toyota, who realized, that's ridiculous.

And he said, Wait a minute, Why don't we wait until somebody's order the car and then order in the parts?

We need to make it to arrive just in time toe, make it, then we know it'll go.

It was efficient.

It was fast.

It's now the way pretty much everything mass produced is made.

So these are orders for sandwiches that come in from the crew.

Over here is my new smaller streamline.

Where's this?

Right next to my factory, from where they're gonna hold just about enough stop for the next 34 sandwiches, which you're gonna deliver to me on my assembly line.

to put together in sequence on just in time.

Right over here.

Our suppliers.

They have a list of what's needed for the next four sandwiches.

Each time of their own particular products they will be supplying to my where has my where has will be supplying them to the assembly line and obvious center.

It's utterly brilliant, and it really can't go wrong.

Okay, Could my remote supplies the supply?

The warehouse with sufficient ingredients to make four sandwiches that may I think very much just in time.

Delivery of that first energy is done.

Next one.

Come on.

When you consider that a car is made of 10,000 parts from 2600 suppliers from all around the world, you realize how much bread and cheese that is, Aunt have precise delivery has to be quick.

Tip that stop my assembly line and you dropped it to Martin.

We are not stockpiling cars.

Remember, In this example, each of these sandwiches has been ordered already.

Ready?

See, I don't think we could possibly have done this more quick by occupying less space with sandwich ingredients than we have done so far.

Thank you very much in my mind.

I thought this might go horribly wrong, but these guys are here.

They're scientists, their engineers.

They're also Germans.

Keogh knows just in time plan, increased productivity and profit.

And guess what?

The idea caught on fast so that now, thanks to this innovation, this mega car factory in Germany can turn out 800,000 cars a year.

Taiji Ono's innovation didn't just make mass manufacturing more efficient.

It's the reason we have so much choice in what we order.
