Lean manufacturing is a production practice that aims to eliminate waste, reduce the need for managing large inventories, and provide optimum quality at the least cost. Sakichi Toyoda, the founder of Toyota, created several concepts which formed the pillars of the Toyota Production System or ‘TPS’. As the years went by, experts across several industries began to be acquainted with the key systems of the TPS i.e. ‘Jidoka’ and ‘Just in time’ systems. Evidence of lean manufacturing principles being successful for a traditional automobile manufacturer like Toyota exists, but the biggest underlying question is whether such an approach to manufacturing is capable of enabling the same benefits for a more modern automobile manufacturer like Tesla. Elon Musk initially aimed to disrupt the automotive industry with Lean manufacturing methodologies but faced challenges with productivity and quality issues, after which Musk's background in software led him to apply an ‘agile’ approach to the car industry. Per the aforementioned, this research paper aims to answer the question ‘How are lean manufacturing principles adopted by Toyota and to what extent are such principles applicable to Tesla’.
