Life Story
February 29, 1912 Taiichi was born in the city of Dairen [2] in the territory occupied by Japan after the Russian-Japanese war of the Kwantung Region. Graduate of the Nagoya Polytechnic Institute . [3]
Taiichi Ono was an employee of Toyota Corporation and gradually rose through the ranks to the head of the company. As an engineer, Taiichi Ono developed a kanban inventory management and production management system, lean manufacturing (Lean), just-in-time . The company still adheres to this system.
In 1932, after graduating from the institute, he began working at Toyota Bareko, and in 1943 he moved to the Toyota Motor factory and began to improve the process of car production. At Toyota, Taichi Ono embarked on an innovative problem-solving system that became the core of the Toyota Production System. He was appointed head of the machine shop in 1946, which later became the laboratory where the kanban system was invented and the mass production system developed.
In 1949, Taiichi Ono was appointed head of the machine shop, in 1954 he took the position of director, managing director in 1964 , senior managing director in 1970, and executive vice president of the company in 1975. He left Toyota in 1978, but continued to work in consulting. In addition, after leaving Toyota, he worked as an adviser at Toyoda Gosei and was on the board of directors of Toyoda Boshoku, the company where he started his career.
In the early 1950s, when Kiichiro Toyoda died, Taichi Ono conceived, and then created a production management system ("Kanban"), with the help of which the Japanese managed to exclude any kind of losses from the production process.
In the mid-1950s, he began to build a special production organization system called the Toyota Production System or the Toyota Production System (TPS) [4] . Scientific developments, both in the field of management and technical re-equipment, have always been highly valued at this enterprise. In the 1950s, Toyota had the most activity in this area.

Taiichi Ono is considered the creator of the Toyota Production System , on the basis of which the concept of lean manufacturing was formulated. A significant contribution to the development of the ideas of the production system of Toyota was made by the associate and assistant of Taiichi Ono Shigeo Shingo , who created, among other things, the SMED method [4] .
