P13716: Andon System for Toyota Production Systems Lab Project Objective: The objective of this project was to introduce Jidoka to the four-station assembly line within the Toyota Production Systems Lab at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Background Information: Jidoka is a term used in the Toyota Production System that refers to diagnosing an abnormality immediately and correcting it accordingly so that defects are not passed along to the next operator. An Andon system is a principal components of Jidoka. Mechanical Andon Systems: Electrical Andon System with Monitoring: Design Specifications: • Visible from 30 feet • Inexpensive • Simplistic design for ease of use • System should accommodate additional stations Insert mechanical system photo here Andon System Particulars: • Team Member initiates visual cue (colored cone or colored magnet) • Team Member initiates auditory cue (voice alert or bell) • The combination of cues prompts Team Leader to visit given station • • • • • • • • Design Specifications Includes paced line capability Global display tracks station status 3 activation modes, green, yellow and red Each station accommodates NTID needs Andon System Particulars: Team Member input (button press) triggers an automated response from PLC programming PLC program operates station lights according to station status LabVIEW interfaces with PLC to display realtime data regarding the statuses of stations Data mining capabilities created to promote future root cause analysis and preventative countermeasure development Project Team: Trevor Andrews Holli Monroe Emily Piccione William Wright Industrial & Systems Engineering Mechanical Engineering Industrial & Systems Engineering Mechanical Engineering Insert project team photo here The project team would like to acknowledge and express appreciation to RIT faculty member Scott Bellinger for all of his help and assistance in executing this project.
