关于现代生产线,许多用于装配汽车的零件不是在现场生产的，而是汽车公司从其他的公司—供应商那里购买的，如制动盘、变速器，许多供应商拥有自己的组装线。一般情况，汽车公司本身有生产零件的工厂，因此，比如雪佛兰迈锐宝汽车在一家工厂组装前,而它的发动机、变速器则从工厂组装好运送过来。 汽车生产线的关键是标准化生产。就像亨利.福特关于他的T型车说的那样，“只要它是黑色的，你可以拥有任何你想要的颜色,。”福特很重视生产线的生产：因为制造成一辆汽车的每一个步骤彼此相互依赖，改变一个步骤就意味着改变其他的步骤，并意味着降低本应高效系统的生产效率。 当今，保持汽车的经营，许多汽车公司需要生产不同款式的汽车。由于依赖生产线生产，汽车公司很难做到生产不同款型的汽车，因此，汽车公司实施了叫做平台共享的举措。通过平台共享，一家公司设计汽车，分享它的零件。为公司省钱，简化生产，还满足客户的需求。 参考译文： Task 4 Supplement Reading Toyota Production System Pre-reading Questions 1.

When machines detect a problem, what will they do automatically? Toyota uses the Toyota Production System to make cars most efficiently. It is a method that aims to eliminate all kinds of wastage. The Toyota Production System is built upon two pillars: “Jidoka” and “Just in Time.” Jidoka is a Japanese word and basically means, “Automation with a human touch,” and is a way of thinking that “prevents defective products from being produced by stopping equipment immediately when a problem occurs.” Just in Time “produces only what is needed by the next process in a continuous flow.” At each process, machines automatically stop the production line when they detect a problem, keeping defective products from moving down the production line. Based on this approach, machines do their part, but individual workers on the production line also take responsibility for their wo
