“…In implementing Toyotism, it is necessary an integral rethinking of the basic principles of the classic Taylorist-Fordist system, thus becoming difficult its implementation since it depends on a culture shift. Therefore, many companies have tried to apply it and they have failed (Coetzee et al, 2016;Mathew, Jones, 2013;Jayamaha et al, 2018).…”

“…The principles associated with the Toyota system are (a) diversified production; (b) elimination of waste; (c) autonomy; (d) workers with multiple tasks, working in production cells; (e) quality control throughout the manufacturing process; (f) labour rhythm determined by the workers; (g) small-batch structure; (h) production planning based on customer demand; (i) stock in existence; (j) reduction of hierarchy structure (Spear, Bowen, 1999;Mathew, Jones, 2013;Jayamaha et al, 2018). Some of the tools affiliated with this work organisation model are: 5S, JIT, Kanbam, DMAIC, Bottleneck Analysis, Jidoka, Kaizen, Poka-Yoke, KPI, SMED, Gemba, Heijunka, VSM, Hoshin Kenry, Andon and others.…”

“Factoryof Boxes” is an Active Learning (AL) where concepts related to Industrial Engineering, Mechanics, Mechatronics, Electrotechnics and Entrepreneurial Management can be cultivated. The interconnection of these concepts offers the possibility of developing occupational relatedskillsin the most diverse areas of knowledge. It is the use of AL, simulating the method of a factory which produces cardboard boxes in different layouts and production systems, namely: (a) Classic Taylorist-Fordist Model; (b) Positions’ Enrichment Volvo Model; (c) cell production Toyota Model; and (d) automated line Taylorist-Fordist Classic Model. Data collection was based on observation, counting and recordingproduction in a simulated test at two Universities (UFPB –Brazil and UBI–Portugal)involving master students in Industrial Engineering. The data were analysed fromthe aspects of productivityandcycle-time. The results showed: (a) It is an economically viable AL since it uses low-cost materials (except forsimulating with automated posts which requires some investment) and (b) the Classic Model has the highest cycle-time and the Toyota Model has higher productivity, althoughthese results derive from simulations with a teaching-learning aim and cannot be generalized. With the involvement of students-apprentices, knowledge was absorbed through layout-sharing and analysis of work organisation models’dynamics, involving activities using Engineering, Industrial Management and Entrepreneurship tools and concepts.
