I'm surprised they didn't talk about how Toyota was the first to experiment with a modular design. They had 6 independent teams create an engine for the Prius given a predefined interface to the engine. The most efficient design made it to the final stage of production. They credit that process to the efficiency breakthrough of the hybrid Prius engine.

[@brandonloukota4760]

I think they have the right idea personally. There’s no way we can convert all cars to electric with the current mining of the elements needed. Toyota can make 6 or more plug in hybrids like the Prius prime or rav4 prime with the same amount of raw materials as 1 Tesla. For now we’re resource limited on how many EVs we can produce. So if you have the option to make 6 plug in hybrids with 40 miles of all electric range or 1 EV with 300 miles of range; the Toyota route gets you 6 cars that are all electric 80+ percent of the time. Vs the EV route of having one car all electric. Plus, many people can’t afford to have two cars and occasionally have to do a long road trip. If I had a plug in hybrid, I could get all the benefits of a full EV on my daily commute. but still not need to worry about range anxiety on a long road trip.

It's more than that. The supplier builds small lots (ideally, lot size '1') and ships them so they arrive exactly when they're needed. No warehousing. That way, inventory is minimized, and any problems with the suppliers' parts are caught early so they can be corrected with minimal scrap.

In my lifetime, I have worked for auto companies and owned domestic and foreign cars. Ford, GM, Chrysler, AMC, Audi, Mercedes, Fiat, BMW, Ferrari, Toyota, Honda, etc. The only ones that have lasted more than 15 years and have cost much less in maintenance cost have been Toyota and to a lesser extent surprisingly was Mercedes. Ford, GM, Chrysler, and Fiat have had major engine problems after five years of ownership or use. Most of the cars have maintenance issues that increase maintenance costs over the years that you will find is similar to what everyone complains about in the history auto blue books for every auto design. So if you buy or use one of these cars you will already know the headaches you will face in dealing with the problems inherent to each auto base model.

The paper manufacturing plant I worked at used all of these techniques, but did an absolutely terrible job.

[@corybosma9341]

350k 2002 Toyota Tacoma and the only thing that has happened is the shifter stuck in park once(it fixed itself) and a broken timing belt. ( Something bound to happen). Still runs amazing.

For a person who uses car to get from point A to B Toyota's are the best cars ever made. I got a brand new Camry in 2011 and so far other than regular oil/tire change I took it to garage for a total of 2 times. That too for small problems. The engine and every major components are in perfect condition.

Had a 89 toyota corrolla, ran about 13 years, over 300,000 miles, was rusting everywhere but mechanically was flawless, on a quite summer night I can still hear the echo of the starter turning the engine over, the fronts seats where the most comfortable seats i ever Owned and even after 300, 000 miles they showed zero wear aside from a few stains, and BTW, original clutch on the 4 speed survived until the end with many a family member and even friends learning to drive standard....the torque curve and gearing were perfect.... Been a toyota loyalist ever since but "modern" north American made toyotas are afflicted with cheapo plastic interiors, and gone forever are the crisp shutting doors, trunks etc.

Better than German cars

[@tomluna1201]

I love Toyota they make the most reliable cars in the world.

Toyota's approach to manufacturing, often known as the Toyota Production System (TPS) or lean manufacturing, is truly fascinating! It's amazing how they revolutionized the efficiency and quality of production processes, not just in the automotive industry but across various sectors. The emphasis on minimizing waste, continuous improvement, and respect for people has made a significant impact on manufacturing principles worldwide. It's always inspiring to see how innovative strategies can lead to such positive and widespread changes! 🌟🚗🔧

[@ani625]

You can't beat the reliability of a Japanese car, no sir.

[@pratikrajpal6844]

I have Toyota frontier.. since 90s my grandfather and my father only like to buy Toyota cars

[@idiottv6499]

So... no mention of William Edwards Deming?

[@SteveBiko2017]

Companies like Autoliv adopted the lean system too and witnessed tremendous results. Autoliv's production system is touted to be an advanced version of JIT

[@Dog.soldier1950]

That did not age well

[@遊具も数化]

My Father's Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE 86 (Red) still runs at 670k perfectly. Just change oil and everything is fine. Dad is a stickler for maintenance so much. Wish my car would age very well too.

[@justfelix30]

Woah 670K miles that's amazing!

[@abbylx]

i love my corolla (2016) and i bet all who is reading my comment from around the world knows what i am talking about.

[@picodrift]

Not really

[@vincedc6814]

nope, because in Italy they changed the name in Auris 😂

[@toynazi]

I agree. I just bought a 2016 Corolla S with only 11.000 miles on it. It still smelled new even two years old. It gets the job done.

[@abbylx]

so i believe you know :P

[@abbylx]

its a beautiful car. economical, practical and reliable car.

[@PatHand-og9yd]

This article is just a flyover. It's missing LOTS of important information. For example, the influence of Edwards Deming (statistical process control). And it's missing the influence of Japanese culture. Just think: the tamago sous-chef at Jiro's (sushi restaurant) made the omelette for the restaurant's tamale sushi TWO HUNDRED times and every time, Jiro told him, Not OK. Finally he succeeded. So, this culture of excellence and perfection has translated extremely well into product manufacturing.

I just learned Toyota really is Toyoda. Which is ironically how I pronounce it. But more importantly. Why? Did someone misspell their names in the registration or what?! I'm confused.

[@MrJustinUSCM]

It was because the number of strokes it took to write Toyota in Japanese is eight which was believed to bring good fortune and luck to the company

[@rohitsharma6533]

The name was chosen "because the number of strokes to write Toyota in Japanese (eight) was thought to bring luck and prosperity," Lucky eight. Read More: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/8534294.stm

[@Olivia-W]

@@MrJustinUSCM Well, it turned out true in a way.

[@MrJustinUSCM]

@@Olivia-W Yeah really, they went from a small Japanese car maker recovering from the war, to a booming multinational auto manufacturer in less than 20 years and now being one of the most popular Japanese automakers on the road (just behind Honda)

[@pikiwiki]

in other words, started a system from America that helped make them a better company in Japan

[@revtmyers1]

I enjoy the concept of lean mfg, so I am not against it, but it drives me crazy when various types of mfg companies have unrealistic expectations because they see Toyota promos about mfg and think they can change to be like them overnight.

[@ahmedahm1]

What’s the name of that Canadian Hospital they referred to ??

[@joedance14]

And how did they apply Toyota production concepts in a hospital? THAT would be interesting.

[@ezraberger6912]

Community Medical Center in Missoula

[@AluminumHaste]

The company I worked at that made seatbelts used this system. It works when everyone is on board, employees included. But that wasn't the case, so it didn't work that well.

[@swaxtastic]

Fun Fact - An American named Edward Deming had a big impact on how all of Japan makes things.

[@eman0828]

Yep. He's from my home state Iowa. I work for Whirlpool in Amana, Iowa and we use Demings TQC and Kaizen approach in our Whirlpool Production System along with Toyota's JIT. Kaizen is the 5th point of Demings 14 Point Philosophy.

[@Chris.Davies]

In the early 90s it was a struggling Porsche who asked Toyota to help reform the company into a modern manufacturer. The 993 was the last hand made Porsche. Each steering wheel required 13 man-hours at Porsche, for example! The 996 911, and the Boxster were the first products using everything Toyota taught Porsche, and the company was saved. Porsche chose... wisely.

[@akshay3494]

Such a beautiful, informative and inspiring video. Thanks for sharing with us.. ♥️

[@toledojeeper2932]

I worked at Toledo Jeep Assembly since 1978 and we started using "lean manufacturing " in 2001 . The assembly line was built so parts of it could stop while the rest of it would still be moving . If a employee didnt finish his operation or there was a problem in the process the line stopped until it was fixed .

[@AntonAdelson]

Is it just me or the video did a horrible job explaining what JIT and lean production actually are??

[@basu_fr]

Nobody knows because all are first time learners. People who knows JIT and Lean won't read the comments.

[@ericuberall5896]

the soundmanagement of this video is awful... why is there a german overlay wich is exactly as loud as the OV

[@nickazg]

Nice video. Sweet song at the end! Alex Arcoleo - Radiance

[@MrMikey409]

Do you know the name of the song at 0:27?
