Toyota Production System (TPS)
About Toyota Production System (TPS - Grade IV) Certificate Program
Toyota Production System (TPS) is considered as the world’s most successful strategy for operational excellence. This methodology was born, raised and evolved at Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan for seven decades and is now being used as a strategic weapon for businesses, governments, and institutes around the world.
Toyota Engineering Corporation (TEC) was established in early 2000 to popularize the Total Toyota Production System or Lean Management across the world. Currently, they have certified more than 13000 professionals across the globe. The Senseis at TEC possess decades of hands-on experience in developing, sustaining, and improving TPS management concepts at Toyota and affiliated companies
TPS certification provides the most authentic, up to date, practical knowledge and application on Toyota Production System. TPS Level IV certification is an essential step for manufacturing leaders to develop “must-know” practical skills in Toyota Production System

Previous Batches of Certified TPS Practitioners
“Participating in this program helped me to get a deeper understanding of the Total Toyota Production System. Revitalization of the workplace and respect for people are two key takeaways for me. I started involving the people in my workplace in daily problem solving and was amazed at the number of kaizens that can be done on the shop floor. It was an honor to learn from Masters and the Toyota Engineering Corporation.”
