Abstract
In order to achieve simultaneous, worldwide high quality assurance and other global production developments, Advanced TPS was proposed as a global production technology and management model, especially designed to realize high productivity and cost performance in global production. On this model, the inventory management is the key method at any manufacturing facility operating with Just-in-Time (JIT). On the other hand, the current inventory systems at manufacturing facilities do not provide real inventory data. So out-of-stock conditions sometimes have caused major productivity losses by causing the production line to stop. Therefore, the authors have proposed to create component inventory tool, which RFID tag can be replaced onto the containers with the trial parts and thus both the supplier and main manufacturing facility. This tool could provide constant feedback to ordering, logistics, and assembly conveyance groups in order to maintain and improve current JIT system. Concretely, this can also provide current information on components being shipped by the supplier and list what items are available in the production area by part number and supplier. The effectiveness of this proposal has been verified into Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Texas (TMMTX), which is unique for onsite supplier locations. This has been proven that RFID can prove to be an efficient tool with which to track inventory and generate cost savings.

One of the fundamental processes in client-supplier operations is to match current orders to current inventory (Attaran, 2007). 2.2 Heading of Inventory Management by RFID for Supplier Chain Management Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) was first utilized during WWII for the identification of allied aircraft which was meant to reduce the rate of friendly fire for incoming aircraft (Attaran, 2007)
Implementation of RFID on inventory management at any manufacturing facility operating with Just-in-Time (JIT) can benefit by obtaining reliable and accurate data on all inventory levels for production parts
Summary
Worldwide high quality assurance and other global production developments, today’s task is to maintain high reliability in production facilities and operations. In response to the increasing expansion of overseas plants, it is necessary to improve and maintain highly accurate production equipment and operations through the development of intelligence operators. The authors have clarified Advanced TPS as a global production technology and management model designed to realize high quality assurance in global production. The authors have proposed to create component inventory tool to track current stock that produces monetary savings and leads to efficient inventory management practices. RFID tag can be replaced onto the containers with the trial parts and both the supplier and Toyota USA. The effectiveness of this proposal has been verified into Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Texas (TMMTX), which is unique for onsite supplier locations
