Jidoka

Sakichi Toyoda introduced the idea of Jidoka while perfecting his weaving machine in the 1920s. Jidoka, also known as autorotation, describes a quality control process that prevents the production of defective products, eliminates overproduction and solves underlying processing problems. The concept of Jidoka became central to the Toyota automobile company, which was founded by Toyoda's son.
