Jimbaran, July 23, 2026 – The Faculty of Engineering at Udayana University (FT Unud) continues to strengthen the quality of industry-based education through a collaboration with PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN). Held at the Faculty of Engineering's Lean Manufacturing Laboratory, students had the opportunity to attend a public lecture and learn directly about the implementation of the Toyota Production System (TPS), a production system that has become a world-class manufacturing standard.

This event featured Nandi Julyanto, S.T., M.Eng., Ph.D., President Director of PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN), who shared his experience and Toyota's work philosophy with the Faculty of Engineering community. In his presentation, he emphasized that Toyota's success is determined not only by technological mastery but also by a work culture that upholds integrity, innovation, collaboration, leadership, and a spirit of continuous improvement.

Students were introduced to the concept of the Toyota Production System (TPS) as a mindset and work method oriented towards solving root causes, making decisions based on facts, and continuously improving quality. In addition, participants learned the Genba philosophy, an approach that emphasizes the importance of directly observing processes in the field to understand actual conditions before making decisions.

Beyond the public lecture session, the TMMIN group also visited the Lean Manufacturing Laboratory at the Faculty of Engineering, Udayana University, to discuss the application of TPS (Test-Based Learning) with lecturers and students. The discussion served as a platform for sharing experiences and providing input on laboratory development to ensure its relevance to the needs of the industrial world.

The Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Udayana University, Prof. Ir. Linawati, M.Eng.Sc., Ph.D., IPU., expressed her appreciation for the support provided by PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia in developing learning facilities within the Faculty of Engineering. She stated that synergy between higher education institutions and industry is a crucial factor in producing graduates with competencies aligned with technological developments and the needs of the manufacturing sector.

"We greatly appreciate the trust and support given by Toyota to the Faculty of Engineering, Udayana University. This collaboration adds value to the student learning process while strengthening the development of the laboratory as an educational facility based on industrial practices," said Prof. Linawati.

He further expressed his hope that this collaboration would continue to grow, encompassing not only the development of laboratory facilities but also curriculum development, joint research, innovation development, and the enhancement of lecturer and student competencies.

The collaboration between the Faculty of Engineering, Udayana University, and TMMIN (Ministry of Mining) is a concrete manifestation of the synergy between higher education and industry in producing superior human resources ready to face the challenges of the future manufacturing industry. Through the implementation of the Toyota Production System in the learning process, students are expected to not only master theory but also develop a systematic mindset, problem-solving skills, a disciplined work culture, and a spirit of continuous improvement, all essential characteristics in the professional world.

Going forward, this collaboration is expected to continue to develop through various collaborative programs, such as strengthening the industry-based curriculum, applied research, internship programs, laboratory development, and capacity building for lecturers and students. Thus, the Faculty of Engineering, Udayana University, further strengthens its role as a higher education institution capable of producing high-quality, innovative, and globally competitive graduates.
