自働化，一种品质控制的方法学，与及时化同为丰田生产方式的两大支柱。

及时化与自働化是丰田生产方式的两大支柱之一。自働化，与自动化不同，是指加上了人类智能的自动化机器生产。

Autonomation describes a feature of machine design to effect the principle of jidoka(自働化) used in the Toyota Production System (TPS) and Lean manufacturing. It may be described as "intelligent automation" or "automation with a human touch." This type of automation implements some supervisory functions rather than production functions. At Toyota this usually means that if an abnormal situation arises the machine stops and the worker will stop the production line. It is a quality control process that applies the following four principles:
