• As of August, 2001, time from order to
• delivery for Japanese domestic market

• to less than 14 days by Q4 2004.

NPW AND DOUKI-SEISAN

• Douki-Seisan
• Japanese for Synchronized Production
• to coordinate what's produced in manufacturing
• with the actual customer order, thereby
• synchronizing all aspects of operations and
  materials
• shop-floor management problems are
• solved and improvements are made at the
• actual place where they arise
• on the shop floor

NPW AND DOUKI-SEISAN

• The Nissan Production Way
• The basis of NPW is drastic cost reductions
• on all levels in all divisions to be
• implemented by numerous cross-functional teams.
• NPW focuses on reducing Nissans
• cost-per-unit by minimizing internal costs,
• eliminating unnecessary corporate functions,
• and avoids pressuring suppliers.

• different models on a single assembly line
• Uses computer-generated input schedules to
• identify production bottlenecks and produce

• Effective throughout entire supply chain
• from design freeze to paint shop and
• final delivery

  consumer value.
• New models can be
• Introduced within 18 months of design freeze
• Customized and ordered by final consumer

• two weeks of order
