Toyota: Lean Production System Tool Transport Cases
Challenge
Toyota's 170+ global plants implement the Toyota Production System (TPS) with strict kaizen (continuous improvement) standards. They need cases for TPS tools, jigs, and gauges transported between plants. Cases must: (1) meet Toyota Engineering Standard (TES), (2) survive 24/7 production transport, (3) protect $20,000+ precision gauges, (4) integrate with Toyota kanban system, (5) be reusable 1,000+ cycles.
Solution
KeXinMaterials provided TPS-spec cases with: (1) Toyota Engineering Standard TES-0038 compliance, (2) PP copolymer + ESD-safe, (3) custom foam for Mitutoyo gauges, Renishaw probes, jigs, fixtures, (4) serialized QR + Toyota kanban, (5) 1,000+ cycle rating. Custom foam for Mitutoyo digital calipers, Renishaw OMP60 probes, hardness testers.
Result
3,000 cases deployed across 50+ plants. 18 months zero gauge damage. 100% TPS compliance. Toyota standardized KeXinMaterials as a qualified TPS case vendor.
Client Testimonial
Toyota's TPS requires precision gauges and tools in perfect condition across 170+ plants. KeXinMaterials cases have proven Toyota Engineering Standard compliance and 1,000+ cycle reliability. The kanban integration supports our just-in-time logistics. They're our standard TPS case. — Toyota Global Logistics VP
