What if your machines could detect problems, stop themselves, and protect product quality — without constant supervision?
That’s the power of Jidoka.
In this concise, practical book, Dr. Mohamed H. Soliman explores how Jidoka, one of the two core pillars of the Toyota Production System, enables smarter operations by combining automation with human judgment.
You’ll learn how Jidoka helps organizations:
Build quality into every process
Detect errors at the source and respond immediately
Reduce waste and rework
Free up operators to manage multiple machines (multiprocess handling)
Create safer, more autonomous production environments
Through real-world examples and clear explanations, this book shows how Jidoka goes far beyond simple automation — it’s about building intelligence and responsibility into every task.
Discover how Toyota's century-old innovation can help you build better systems today.
