4. In order to improve quality on the four-station assembly line within the Toyota Production Systems Lab at the Rochester Institute of Technology, two andon systems and a corresponding monitoring system were developed.  One andon system consists of simple electronics controlled by predetermined logic.  The other andon system is purely mechanical in nature. In order to highlight and record abnormalities, which can later be used to perform root cause analysis and develop preventative countermeasures, a monitoring system was designed alongside the andon systems.
