In this episode we discuss a blog post from The Deming Institute on
why the Toyota production system is more effective than others. To
fully understand this, you have to understand ‘part’ vs. ‘part
of’.  Darci had to have Kyle’s help understanding this one,
but once she caught on, it was as simple as it sounds. The blog
starts with a story of a Ford Motor Company assembly plant manager
buying competitor’s cars to disassemble them and learn how they
were assembled by reassembling them.  In America, car
manufacturers use a rubber mallet when things don’t fit-this was
discussed in a previous episode when we did our Start With Why
series.  If a car could be put together without the mallet, it
was called ‘snap-fit.’  Well, Frank Pipp, the manager came
across one, it was a Toyota.  He called in someone from
corporate who watched on as the assembled the truck in snap fit
fashion.  Corporate’s response?  “The customer will never
notice.”  And so was born the ‘part’ mentality. ‘Part’
mentality means that I am at this position of the assembly, this is
the part I make, and I do it well within my tolerances.  ‘Part
of’ mentality means that I am in this same position of the
assembly, this is the part I make with the understanding it fits
with other parts to create a system.  Understanding that your
part is part of a system creates a better product for the end user.
True, the customer will never notice, but it will effect the
overall performance.  As stated in the blogpost, “Such a view
leads to the conclusion that any deviation from a target dimension
results in some degree of loss being imparted downstream by the
part after its shipment to the customer.”
