The Toyota production system video shows how Toyota administers lean production system, how it works and how the users of Toyota products benefit from the system. One way that Toyota is able to use the just in time production effectively is by manufacturing only what is ordered. By making what is ordered, Toyota ensures that all the costs are accounted for and therefore makes a fair pricing to the customers.
