dropper

Sakichi Toyoda invented an automatic loom that
would stop automatically for problems. He
equipped his loom with the ability to stop
whenever a warp thread broke and to eject
almost empty shuttles quickly and then insert a
new one at the last second before the weft thread
in each shuttle was completely consumed all
while the machine was operating at full speed .
lt enabled great improvement in quality and
freed operators to do more value creating work
than simply monitoring auto Iooms.

Eventually the concept of designing machines to
stop automatically and call immediate attention
to problems became a critical feature of every
machine. every production line and every
Toyota operation.
