This became the core of the so-called Toyota Production System (TPS) that he and others subsequently developed between the mid-1940s and the mid-1970s.
Few had heard of the Toyota Production System (TPS) until three academics in the car industry study programme run by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) wrote a book in 1991 called "The Machine that Changed the World".
The TPs are unorganized in the broad sense but very local.
Other high TPS moments included Ludovic Bource's best-composer win for "The Artist" – surely a reflection of the controversy over his use of a bit of the score from "Vertigo," a borrowing its star Kim Novak had likened to rape – and one of the Bagger's favorite moments, Tina Fey photo-bombing a winking Amy Poehler.
The ratings for the Globes may have dipped slightly, but it was a robust presence on Twitter, where the Tweets-per-second (TPS) count reached 6,162 at its highest point, more than last year's Super Bowl (4,064 TPS) or the royal wedding (3,966), though still less than the MTV Video Music Awards (8,868 TPS, which had the advantage of the Beyonce bump).
"Unless you can beat the other eight TPs you've got no chance of winning the race," Clitheroe said.

However, even when the reforms awaiting TPS are taken into account, staff at newer universities could still take home almost £20,000 more a year in retirement than colleagues at Russell Group institutions, according to calculations by First Acturial, on behalf of UCU.
And, since migrants working abroad send hundreds of millions of dollars home every year, the decision amounted to substantial disaster relief.By August 5th over 88,000 Hondurans had applied for TPS, and some 5,000 Nicaraguans (most undocumented Nicaraguans qualify for permanent residency rights under a separate programme).
He in turn had drawn inspiration from W. Edwards Deming, an influential statistician and quality-control expert who had played a big part in developing the rapid-manufacturing processes used by America during the second world war.At the core of TPS is elimination of waste and absolute concentration on consistent high quality by a process of continuous improvement (kaizen).
In the TPS, each production process sets out its wares for the next process to choose from, just as a supermarket does.
