About Toyota Production System (TPS)
Developed and refined over decades, since the beginning of the 21st century, TPS is a management philosophy that helps to optimize business results with a focus on safety, logistics and process management, always with quality and at a low cost.

Among the main TPS concepts that will be worked on in partnership with Embraer are just in time - which aims to create a continuous flow of manufacturing and greater partnership with suppliers for the efficient use of parts and resources, avoiding excess of inventories and waste - and the jidoka – which aims to improve the quality and added value of work executed in a factory.
