The world’s attention was drawn to the Uddevalla plants for their no-conveyor system: the UPSUddevalla Production System (UPS). This chapter focuses on the cognitive aspects of UPS and compares it with TPS. Tamura shows that UPS is an epoch-defining production model that utilises cognitive capabilityCognitive capability as an indispensable factor in achieving high flexibility.
