“separating human work from machine work."
What does “separating human work from machine work mean?
Separating human work from machine work: One example is
(1) place the part in the machine,
(2) touch a “go” button and go somewhere else for another work.
(3) machine does the work and ejects the workpiece
(4) the operator comes back when he wants to load another part or wants the part for further processing.
This involves two basic engineering tricks, as written in old Toyota documents:
Automatic feed: once you place the part, the machine has to picks it up by itself and place it in the work holding fixture.
Autoeject: when the machining is done, the machine stops by itself and the part is ejected so it can be picked up easily.

The Video gives the four principles as Pull, One piece flow, Tact and Zero Defects.
It can also be said as Produce to order, Small batches as required to deliver, Produce only what is needed and ensure zero defects.
How do you do it? That is where manufacturing or production systems design and industrial engineering come into picture.
