A New Global Partnering Production Model NGP-PM Utilizing Advanced TPS

Abstract

In order to improve quality at leading manufacturers’ overseas production bases from the perspective of “global production,” “a New Global Partnering Production Model, NGP-PM” - the strategic development of the “Advanced TPS” model - is proposed and its effectiveness discussed. The aim is to increase global quality by generating a synergetic effect that organically connects and promotes continual evolution of the production plants in Japan and overseas, as well as greater cooperation among production operators.
