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 are to be developed.  One andon system is to be a typical system consisting of simple electronics.  The other andon system is to be 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 will be designed alongside the andon systems.
