Jidoka | Glossary

Definition

Jidoka is the policy of halting the production or development whenever there’s a fault or bug cropping up, the next step is to fix the problem and find the reason for the problem, thereby making sure it doesn’t occur again. This is considered to be a highly beneficial policy as it helps in increasing the quality of work.

Origin

The concept of jidoka originated in the early 1900s when Sakichi Toyoda, founder of the Toyota Group, invented a textile loom that stopped automatically when any thread broke.
