(a Japanese/Lean word) - the automatic stopping or adjustment of a production line when a non-conforming unit or other problem is detected. "Ji" means the production operator himself; "do" means motion, or work; and "ka" is a Japanese suffix used to complete the word. Jidoka has been termed automation with a human mind - the welding of human intelligence to a machine.
Jidoka Jidoka, as practiced at Toyota has several meanings. It may mean "automation with human intelligence".
A system to ensure quality, whereby machines are built so they can only produce quality parts. Just in time: Parts are made per the customer's order, one at a time, not in batches.
See " autonomation." Japanese term for transferring human intelligence to a machine.
A Japanese term that can be translated two ways: 1) automation "improvements in machinery that serve to reduce the number of workers" and 2) autonomation, see definition above. (Monden)
Stopping a line automatically when a defective part is detected. [Same as Autonomation
Transferring human intelligence to machines that then can detect defective parts and immediately stop themselves while signaling for help. Also known as autonomation.
Stopping a line automatically when a defective part is detected. Exceptions handling in real time.
The Japanese term for the practice of stopping the production line when a defect occurs.
one of the two pillars of the Toyota Production System. It provides machines and operators the ability to detect when an abnormal condition has occurred and immediately stop work. Jidoka highlights the causes of problems when they first occur. This leads to improvements in build-in quality by eliminating the root causes of defects.
Jidoka (a.k.a. autonomation) a term used in Lean manufacturing meaning "automation with a human touch." It is a quality control process used in the Toyota Production System which applies the following four principles.
