Meals Per Hour

THANKS A MILLION! YOUR VIEWS AND SHARES HAVE HELPED TOYOTA REACH THE GOAL OF ONE MILLION MEALS DONATED TO FOOD BANK FOR NEW YORK CITY.
The challenge: How can a non-profit implement Toyota's legendary production system (TPS) to increase the number of meals distributed to people who are still affected by Superstorm Sandy? Watch this movie - and help us do even more.
thank you, and always be KAIZEN.

Fantastic video. It has all the ingredients to be an effective teaching tool: feelings, simplicity, good techniques, creativity, teamwork, description of the process, the improvements applied and the results obtained, the necessary, appropriate and balanced resources.

[@michaelstephaniewalton4413]

A GREAT example of how the #Toyota PS can be applied to anything! Absolutely LOVE this clip and the goodness #Kaizen has done for this Food Bank! #continuousimprovement Thank you for posting this!

[@bishopjf]

Heartwarming to see generous, kind folks helping each other. Kudos to the volunteers, to George, to Toyota.

[@notdaveschannel9843]

"The summation of many many small, simple, cheap improvements can have a very big impact". I love the lack of pretension and management-speak in that phrase.

[@takekawakita]

That's KAIZEN power.

[@kidsviewtoys]

This is pretty awesome! And I don't care if they don't donate any meals, the fact that they helped get meals to people faster is good enough in my book. Give credit where it's due.

[@Taffynation]

Congratulations to everybody in that group of volunteers. You are all amazing.

[@ThePirateTroll28]

If you disliked this video you do not belong to live in this world. This is a beautiful thing Toyota is doing, everyone can spend a little over 6 minutes to help families in need and please keep the negative comments for Facebook.

[@toyotti2]

In my company (Japanese shipyard), all the employees have to submit 1 kaizen/month. However, there is a new about 100 million yen cost reduction effect by kaizen every year.

[@LegentilJM]

Très COOL On travaille actuellement avec Moisson Montréal.... on va y arriver ensemble!!!

[@BillCarroll]

I'm extremely impressed and humbled at the same time how awesome this is for the Food Distribution place and Toyota for stepping in to help with their expertise... KUDOS to all!

[@grinnindog]

Nothing short of inspired, all around...filmmakers, George, Toyota, everyone. Congratulations, Henry and Rel.

[@SuperMandamu]

I did not know that 改善(kaizen) is used in America. (from Japan)

[@avaloncamry]

We made it!!!! I am so proud working in Toyota. Thank you everyone for watching.

[@Hanikatiki]

I am watching this for my class, and I have to say... this is extremely heartwarming.

[@danasaur4]

I really appreciate all this, I just hope it isn't abused. I can't stand how people think it's okay to have nice, expensive things but can still bum others for food because they sit on their a**es all day. For the people who really NEED this stuff, God bless them, along with Toyota and all the volunteers over in New York.

[@BrendonN]

I'm seeing a lot of self-proclaimed geniuses here thinking that using this systems approach is easy. This is delivering meals from a truck, try applying the Toyota system to health care and get back to me smarties.

[@AirmenATC]

Japan had universal healthcare since 1961. Top 10, doesn't spend nearly as much as the United States. Kaizen!

[@notdaveschannel9843]

I here you, but the NHS here in the UK seems to have lots of small inefficiencies that seem to add up to massive costs. (It's also underfunded and Bliar saddled it with ludicrous PFI deals but that's a different story). The Primary Care practices in my home town use audio typists (!!!!) to type letters referring patients to hospital specialists because obviously typing it into an online system is a weird ninja skill that Doctors can't possibly do. The patient then gets a letter offering them a choice of which hospital they want to use. This would be admirable but for the fact that our town only has one hospital so all the other options are miles away! Some hospitals pay way more for the same supplies than others. Doctors prescribe drugs that are no longer considered necessary etc. I received a letter this February telling me an appointment in January had been cancelled. I'd already attended the rescheduled appointment. A 2014 report by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges estimated potential savings of £2 billion. Many of the changes are way more complex than the examples in this video so I'm not entirely disagreeing with you but given how the current crisis is about to overwhelm our ICU capacity it should be top of the agenda.

[@Msut]

Wut

[@nobodyreally6331]

One small step at a time.

[@productivityimprovers2706]

Striving step-by-step to make a process - and their communities - better. Well done all !!

[@PLGtalented]

You sir/mam are quite correct in your thinking. Especially since Toyota isn't really promoting any or their products. This video was explaining the production of these food boxes and what they could do to help them. Their help was greatly needed and appreciated. What they did was morally and structurally correct, without having anything to do with promoting the Toyota products and helping the people because they cared, and also possibly to get recognition for their company.

[@ClownAl3n]

This is the definition of Great People. People who strive to help other people in need.

[@mslizny]

I am glad to help our New York family by watching this video, Toyota, I am glad for the help your are giving our New York Family!

[@GeneDexter]

I was first introduced to Kaizen processes in the 1980's and have been a practioner ever since. Thanks You Toyota for bringing the application to such a worthy cause. #GoRockAway!

[@victorlean9921]

Wow, that's really cool. That's Kaizen magic

[@TheSugarnspicepixie]

Well done all!! Glad to share and be a small part in this grand event!!

[@33Crazydude]

I always admire people who go out and help others and put a smile on someones face.

[@xoasisx01]

We use TPS in our company. Its made us go from low 10 millions to high 30 and 40 millions. It definitely works!

[@TheStrawberry135]

George, Lisa & Jamie are my new heroes, along with Toyota! thanks guys, we love you!!

[@karasu7721]

one of the nicest video that puts my face a smile while watching it :) also so useful about my business lesson. thanks a lot

[@joset7389]

God Bless You George. Your not a celebrity doing this to get likes but a "normal" person doing this out of the kindness of your heart. Shows that you do not need to be rich to contribute. We need more people like you George. God Bless U.

[@nitrii]

Wow, where is the humanity in all of you? I applaud these efforts to bring food to people who need it! Appreciate that you're not in a major disaster, because you can quickly be on the receiving end. People who have heart make a huge difference in the world. :)

[@kayjay70]

This soooo nice! Keep up the fantastic work! It is appreciated by all of us as well as the people receiving the food and supplies. :)

[@jamesparkerson7867]

I've owned three Toyotas and a Lexus. None of them have ever had a problem. Great cars, great company!

[@vanessachino3878]

Taking a six sigma course and watching this video now, makes me understand all of the process way better

[@GeekFurious]

I will watch this video 7 billion times and feed the whole world for one meal.

[@tenfootninjagametag6436]

Thank you Toyota. You are feeding people while at the same time making me realize that if I move my computer and my refrigerator into the bathroom I will be a more efficient gamer.

[@lukebukikosa1593]

Well I'm actually glad to see that there are still people that have the heart to do this still

[@kittytrash]

WHO THE HECK DISLIKED THAT !!??!!??!! How can you freaking dislike that !!? They are helping people !

[@davekalen473]

Great program, Learned about it from Steve here at the LES training facility here in Jackson Michigan. The Lean process is integral for any company that wants to be a world class manufacturing facility.

[@sasatanabata]

KAIZEN 改善の解説に笑ってしまったww TOYOTAはすごいな、こんな形で誰かの役にたてるなんて幸せなことだと思う。日本の誇りだよ

[@ryantaite]

This is actually a pretty cool video all around, informative and going to a good cause, good on you Toyota and those guys working hard distributing the food!

[@MrManifolder]

To all the people calling this a "publicity stunt". It's called a WIN-WIN-WIN. Toyota wins, the food bank wins, the hungry people of NYC win. Why are you so upset? Besides, people like me from the West Coast would never have heard of the 'Food Bank For New York City' if it wasn't for Toyota. I hope there is no such thing as the next East Coast super storm, but if there is, I now know of a charity that will put my money to good use. Thank you, Toyota!

[@sabaducia]

This reminds me of operations research, a branch of probability modelling, that calculates the most efficient ways to do things depending on what your goal is. Very cool! Here's to reaching 125,000 meals :)

[@maurtracey]

I think it's GREAT how Toyota is helping out the NYC FOOD BANK!!! They did a WONDERFUL JOB sharing the organizational skills with them to help with efficiency and now to continue to "Pay It Forward" by donating another MILLION MEALS is really GREAT!!! If you need to find fault with that...well then I'm really sorry for you... You are a VERY UNHAPPY PERSON!!!

[@shinelikearock]

Watching this again, and again, and again...

[@Mrod0928]

Thank you Toyota and Stiletto Media for working towards feeding the hungry in NYC!

[@Odin7thor]

250.000 meals added to the 250,000 they have already given, that's 1/2 million meals, that is huge!! Kudos to Toyota for the kind gesture

[@sheila6845]

This is a wonderful video for a wonderful cause. I loved it and I shared it with my friends. It was also nice to see Rel's cameo appearance - he is my celebrity crush. ;)

[@CadeSperoni]

this is why Toyota was my friend vehicle i bought, keep up the good work guys

[@StreyX]

Good on these people for donating their time and effort.

[@georgiabeckman]

this is FABULOUS! I shared & encouraged others to do the same. Thank you, Toyota!

[@DancingChakra]

"Kaizen: continuous improvement." Love that!

[@mimimarcus]

Gotta thank the volunteers. I volunteered at food banks and food centers before, it's tough work with no pay.

[@TheMrMossmonster]

Have to watch the whole video to count as a view, so some people didn't watch the whole thing, but still liked it.

[@jimchoi2719]

very useful insight of real world application part of my LEAN training modules

[@ileana0327]

Worth the watch too... I shall post the link to my Facebook...

[@anotherhandle23]

This is fantastic!

[@gingervennetti7950]

I am passionate about volunteering myself. I could see how some would view this as, the homeless will continue to be homeless if you hand them free things. I don't believe in that. I believe what you are all doing is an incredible thing, and the world thanks you all.

[@eliteDancer719]

This is so awesome.

[@anmolranamagar4141]

Man Dey Re Osomeeee

[@mmaslansky]

really proud to work with Toyota to help them spread the word about how they take real-world problems and just figure out how to do it better. very, very cool

[@dhodgson1000]

I'd like to see this hit 1 Million and beyond.

[@PremKumar-ef5zd]

Good video, Fantastic transformation. Power of one peice flow.

[@Madman0754]

This is really awesome.

[@teribonds4751]

Thanks for your care and compassion to hurting people

[@carolinewang5563]

I'm glad I watched this

[@RezaQin]

I am happy to spend 6 minutes of my life to give a meal to someone.

[@bluedrakken]

the views are the spread of awareness, instead of looking at the negative on your high horse focus on the positive and the ones down on their luck.

[@awesomeperson41]

I'm amazed by the amount of people volunteering

[@Jayo2Nice]

I hope this succeeds in becoming the "most viewed" video on youtube because if it does not, then we have a real problem in society when "gangnam style" ranks above it.

[@avilca98]

Great video, TPS on action!

[@michellelee8933]

It's great that people are helping each other...

[@Joyandblissniss]

I love you guys!! Awesome!!

[@kidinvs]

This is really fantastic.... sometimes, humans really are good.

[@Naakta2]

And this proper way of thinking is only gained through real world experience. Most of the people commenting so negatively are still dependents that don't understand very much of how the world actually operates.

[@SimplyNazsay]

I love to see people doing good things for their community. It really warms my heart and to all of those people leaving negative comments about race please tell me why that matters? This man did something that most people wouldnt do. There are sooo many greedy and selfish people in this world and he thought of others which is something that i would love to see more of.Anyways this was a truly great video :)

[@amanpeacejabar8327]

Simply fantastic.heart touching & awesomely encouraging.keep up the good work.

[@Troy992000]

I hope this gets watched very very very often

[@Aradia73111]

Awesome!

[@reneemiller941]

Incredible and inspiring. ;)

[@julescazedessus218]

Excellent!

[@Gatts2112]

really enjoyed that:)

[@Nyxius22]

What an amazing thing you are doing. You make me proud to be an American!

[@FORCENSX]

I feel good knowing that I just donated food by watching a video. Thanks toyota.

[@musickman01]

I am also viewer number 444,068. They act like the assembly line and the idea of using the correctly sized boxes is a new and innovative idea. The "new" ideas mentioned in this video have been around for many years

[@JoJoghetto]

This is sharing at its best !

[@tobinpokrzywa8158]

this is really cool!

[@dANGELofLOVE1]

GREAT IDEA!!!!!

[@simonrabatin2438]

This is really fantastic, I want to thank you for doing this.

[@JustYourAverageGirl2002]

Wow, that is awesome!!!

[@giannisnavrozidis3556]

i have no comments for you , you are a great person keep doing this !

[@YearOfTheDog82]

Bravo Toyota and Metro, this give me hope for humanity

[@Stickman470]

I think if we spread this a fair amount more than we currently are we'll easily have a million around the beginning of July.

[@samadk14]

Absolutely incredible!

[@ytlogn]

i think about this video everyday, imagine if these heros had access to supplies from a zero food waste initiative

[@Nameless_by_dna]

have had this on repeat at work since i found it

[@ItzzAngel]

Everyone needs to understand they are a business. Yes they want views to donate but at least their doing it. It benefits them and the people who they are helping. It's not something to complain about.

[@CindytheRedScout]

People, share this vid! Make it go viral! It's for a good cause!

[@Stryder.]

Wow, this video is really amazing. Those who volunteered to help other people, I salute you!

[@choozewizely61]

Amazing video amazing amazing amazing

[@vortex000131]

Awesome.
