Negative Impact Of Toyota

Although it was not always easy for Toyota, they have established themselves as one of the major automobile manufactures in the world. Since Toyota’s sales have steadily increased over the years; they recently have begun focusing on the quality of the car they were producing. Unfortunately when they began the process multiple issues within the product and assembly arose bringing a negative impact to the manufacture. Toyota began to develop what we call the Lean philosophy, “form of religion”. Lean methodology is a process to increase productivity of workers, assembly lines, inventory, and management among many others, all the while keeping a close eye on the production. When they first opened their factories within the United States they pushed

When achieving this waste is greatly reduced and the quality of the product increases through all aspects of the company. Helping how the company is viewed by the: suppliers, employees, peers within the industry, and the consumers. It has helped lead to Toyota to be one of the top selling auto companies within the industry. The ones that help Toyota get to the status there are today were the coordinators within the factories. These were the experts with 20 years of knowledge within the Toyota Production Systems (TPS). Toyota Production Systems has four key categories within their six sigma platform: “decreased setup times, minimum production, workers empowerment and involvement, dealer’s participation.” (Toyota, 2017) Majority of procedures are wasteful, by handling procedures it helps create steps for employees to carry he mission out. As far as minimizing production, Toyota has realized that they produce better quality when they manufacture various things at once in a smaller quantity. To develop a sense of empowerment, Toyota developed teams to complete extra task throughout the factory. Developing team leads to over

(Rand, 2010) This perhaps is the reasoning as to why the cars of this time frame are still highly sought after still today; leading to purchases of high amounts just to retrieve ownership of the workmanship of art. Sadly, after the 1970s manufactured began to focus more on the profit margins instead of the customer satisfaction. As we all know when manufacturers begin to focus more on their greed of pure profits the production of cheap materials are soon to follow. Car quality soon after begins to fall and it is obvious that this is the case still today considering American automobile have not made the top 10 list of vehicles purchased for quite some time. It is obvious that profit margins are the main focus of manufacturers, but beginning the lean process throughout the entire company can begin a revolution of making cars of value again. It starts with the newest employee and goes all the way up to board of
