11 June Birthday of Kiichiro Toyoda (1894)
Toyota has a special place in Industrial Engineering. The Japanese contribution to industrial engineering reached its peak in Toyota Motors. Toyota became the company to be studied for application of modern industrial engineering. Industrial engineering further developed in Japan after the development of the discipline in USA.

Inventions and Innovations in Looms and Productivity and Quality Improvement by Sakichi Toyoda.
Sakichi Toyoda invented numerous wooden devices to automate weaving, including the first wooden hand loom, patented in 1890, and devices for reeling and winding yarn (1894). In 1893 he opened a factory and sales outlet for his looms. The first major commercial success was his invention of a narrow wooden power loom (1896). With technical improvements, within a few years one weaver could operate up to three steam-powered looms concurrently, tripling efficiency while improving textile quality. He invented the circular loom in 1906, and in 1924 he patented a remarkable automatic loom with non-stop shuttle change motion, and the ability to replenish thread supplies without even slowing its weaving speed. In 1926, Toyoda established the Toyoda Automatic Loom Works (now Toyota Industries Corporation). In 1929 the Corporation licensed its Type-G loom for use by Platt Brothers & Co.
The Inventions and Ideas of Sakichi Toyoda - The Birth of Jidoka.
Features in the machine that that stop the machine if there is possibility of defects. When the machine stops, operator can come and correct.
So what is jidoka - An improvement in machine or process that reduces manual intervention and thus enhances productivity of human effort. It is increase in machines that a man can operate or control. Japanese production systems have less man power for the same capacity.
