Read the Toyota Motor Manufacturing U.S.A. Inc. case and answer the following questions.What are the capacity and cycle time of the plant in 1992 as given to you in the case? Use a formula to compute flow rate and compare it to the capacity. Hint: you will need to make some assumptions about the amount of productive time in one year. Compare the way they are dealing with the seat problem with what the Toyota Production System would recommend. In other words where did they deviate from the TPS principles?
