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.

[@takekawakita]

That's KAIZEN power.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@grinnindog]

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

[@port7876]

I would watch this a million times over to make a difference if that's what it takes. I like the feeling that I'm doing something for someone just for watching a video. It's the greatest feeling ever.

[@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!!!

[@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. :)

[@Taffynation]

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

[@avaloncamry]

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

[@SuperMandamu]

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

[@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.

[@ClownAl3n]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@TheSugarnspicepixie]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@33Crazydude]

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

[@Hanikatiki]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@GeekFurious]

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

[@productivityimprovers2706]

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

[@anotherhandle23]

This is fantastic!

[@jamesparkerson7867]

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

[@simonrabatin2438]

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

[@victorlean9921]

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

[@eliteDancer719]

This is so awesome.

[@mimimarcus]

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

[@awesomeperson41]

I'm amazed by the amount of people volunteering

[@Madman0754]

This is really awesome.

[@RezaQin]

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

[@Gatts2112]

really enjoyed that:)

[@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. ;)

[@yamziedoodle]

This is amazing

[@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!!!

[@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

[@rachelnegron6988]

Love it! Great job guys!

[@1977branflake]

This story is amazing! Keep it up man :)

[@tobinpokrzywa8158]

this is really cool!

[@Joyandblissniss]

I love you guys!! Awesome!!

[@lukebukikosa1593]

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

[@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!

[@XxJenuaxX]

This deserves more views than "The Anchorman 2 trailer" and im sure the cast of that movie would agree

[@carolinewang5563]

I'm glad I watched this

[@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. :)

[@BongoBoyLA_Gaming]

This inspired me ;)

[@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.

[@bhanushalikirit]

nice work !! hope this video reaches 1 million views :D

[@Shabanya24]

This just makes me smile :D

[@frizzlemefloral]

this was awesome :)

[@dhodgson1000]

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

[@kamichat]

Love this

[@amanpeacejabar8327]

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

[@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.

[@CadeSperoni]

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

[@PraiseTheLame]

Amazing! Keep it up guys!

[@port7876]

Yes, and keep watching this video over and over, so that you know you are helping someone.

[@reneemiller941]

Incredible and inspiring. ;)

[@Aradia73111]

Awesome!

[@romanhall4254]

That's awesome, this video is really inspiring.

[@julescazedessus218]

Excellent!

[@samadk14]

Absolutely incredible!

[@teribonds4751]

Thanks for your care and compassion to hurting people

[@obeast49]

Thanks for helping out the community i really appreciate the work you guys are doing keep up the good work!!!

[@Troy992000]

I hope this gets watched very very very often

[@nullifiid]

this made me feel good and i watched to the end

[@shinelikearock]

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

[@michellelee8933]

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

[@vanessachino3878]

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

[@officialsupercindy]

This was amazing

[@JustYourAverageGirl2002]

Wow, that is awesome!!!

[@Mrod0928]

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

[@avilca98]

Great video, TPS on action!

[@xoasisx01]

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

[@PremKumar-ef5zd]

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

[@matbane9878]

this is actually a great content. I learn it all in my undergrad.

[@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 :)

[@MichelleRodriguez-jl6no]

wow this is awesome there should be more people in the world like this

[@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.

[@DrooliusFilms]

Great work! Keep it up!

[@lolamermaid11]

This is amazing
