Over the last five decades the Toyota Production System (TPS) has evolved from an advanced socio-technical concept in manufacturing to a participative design for large-scale change management. Toyota has been able to sustain a strategic competitive advantage by applying TPS as a process innovation and intervention, as measured by quality, reliability, productivity, cost reduction, sales and market share growth, and market capitalization. Many automotive companies are trying to replicate Toyota's success with TPS in their respective business. But is it possible to effectively implement the TPS in non-automotive industry? This paper includes basic theoretical information about TPS and subsequently the application of this system in non-automotive industry. (original abstract)
