    The paper "Nissan Production System" is a wonderful example of a management essay.

    Nissan Production System is a set of principles and ideas that have been used over
    many years to produce quality cars. The system is designed to provide clients with
    quality vehicles at the required time. It also aims to provide the cars at the
    lowest possible cost. In addition, it enables employees to get fair treatment, job
    security, and work satisfaction.
    The system is broken down into four stages that include Kaizen, just in time,
    Jidoka and suppliers. Kaizen includes daily improvements that the company applies
    to their equipment and working conditions to enhance the condition of their cars.
    The process requires all tasks to be standardized and precise to improve
    efficiency, eliminate waste and ensure maximum quality (Nissan, 2014).
    Just in Time phrase was coined by a Nissan engineer to inspire the production
    process of the company to be regulated by the laws of demand and supply. For
    example, the client's demand motivates the production of a vehicle. The production
    of the vehicle motivates production and delivery of body parts and so on. As a
    result, the body parts and materials are produced in the correct quantity and where
    and when they are needed (Nissan, 2014).
    Jidoka is a Japanese word that means automation through a human touch. The system
    is designed to halt and call for attention in case abnormalities occurs in the
    production process. In addition, Jidoka has enhanced specialization in the
    production line. Each employee is in charge of his production line where he
    identifies an opportunity for making improvements and initiates improvements with
    the help of the management. Lastly, suppliers and TPS is a system that allows body
    parts in the production line to be manufactured at the same rate. This means all
    employees in the production line customers to the next person. As a result, there
    is a continuous production of body parts (Nissan, 2014).
