Toyoda family inJapan decided to change their automatic loom manufacturing business to the automobile business.
But they had few problems to overcome. They could not compete with the giants like Ford in the foreign markets.Therefore Toyota had to depend upon the small local markets. They also had to bring down the raw materials from outside. Also they had to produce in small batches. They haven’t had much of capital to work with. Therefore capital was very important. With these constrains Taiichi Ohno took over the challenge of achieving the impossible. With his right hand man Sheigo Shingo for next three decades he built the Toyota production system or the Just In Time system.
