Abstract
This article deals with the Toyota Production System that has been applied to integrated chip making. Even more important, Toyota´s approach to mass production has produced bountiful profits. These early results point to the new economics of semiconductor manufacturing and that this will have a profound and lasting effect on the industry and create new opportunities for growth.
