As one of the main suppliers of smart card in Chinese telecommunication market, Gemplus(Tianjin) company is suffered seriously of its exclusive position after China's entry into the World Trade Organization(WTO). The company adjusts the strategy quickly and decides to introduce Module Assembly Line that is essential to the core of the product cost in order to meet the target of module self-sufficient and attain the purpose of low cost. After launching the Module Assembly Line, the company promotes Toyota Production System (TPS) in no time, expecting to achieve the basic principle of "Eliminating Waste" and fulfill the goal of "Just In Time". In this process, technical and managerial staff applies the modern production system for actual work successfully and put great emphasis on the solid projects of Operation Standard, Equipment Installment, Man-Machine Engineering, Multi-skill Operator, Automatic Techniques, Total Quality Management, Effective Logistics and Total Improvement.
