Towards the end of the nineteenth century, Sakichi Toyoda invented Japan's first
power loom, revolutionising the country's textile industry. January 1918 saw him create
the Toyoda Spinning and Weaving Company, and with the help of his son, Kiichiro
Toyoda, Sakichi fulfilled his lifelong dream of building an automatic loom in 1924. The
establishment of Toyoda Automatic Loom Works followed in 1926. Kiichiro was also an
innovator, and visits he made to Europe and the USA in the 1920s introduced him to the
automotive industry. With the £100,000 that Sakichi Toyoda received for selling the
patent rights of his automatic loom, Kiichiro laid the foundations of Toyota Motor
Corporation, which was established in 1937. One of the greatest legacies left by Kiichiro
Toyoda, apart from TMC itself, is the Toyota Production System. Kiichiro's "just- in-
time" philosophy - producing only precise quantities of already ordered items with the
absolute minimum of waste - was a key factor in the system's development.
Progressively, the Toyota Production System began to be adopted by the automotive
industry across the world.
Rising from the ashes of industrial upheaval in post-war Japan, Toyota has
become the largest vehicle manufacturer in Japan with over 40% market share. Toyota
began to make inroads into foreign markets in the late 1950s. The first Crown models
arrived in the USA in 1957, and by 1965, with models such as the Corolla, Toyota began
to build its reputation and sales to rival those of domestic producers. The first Toyota
imported into Europe was via Denmark in 1963. Toyota has continued to grow in
Europe's sophisticated and complex market, and in 2000 the company delivered its ten
millionth car to a customer in Germany. In fact, growth is currently one of the main
words in Toyota's European vocabulary, and the company plans to reach annual sales of
800,000 in Europe by 2005. Toyota is number one for customer satisfaction in the
majority of European countries and has built an excellent reputation across Europe for
reliability and customer service. This enviable reputation, along with the support of a
network of more than 25 distributors and 3,500 sales outlets, are important factors in
supporting Toyota's European sales growth in the coming years.

Delivering Excellence
Toyota Production System (TPS) combines a balanced mix of human resources
and robot technology for increased productivity. This system involves two important
principles:
Jidoka - building quality into the production system and ensuring damaged parts do not
proceed to the next stage.
Just In Time (JIT) - making only what is needed, when it's needed, and only as much as
is needed.
Eco Factory : As part of our sustainable plant initiatives, the plant is designed with an
Eco-Factory concept to maximize the output with minimum input by creating a highly
optimized manufacturing process. From our energy efficient servo press to our state-of-
the-art global body line, we are able to reduce process steps to further increase our energy
efficiency. We also use water borne paint and a water recycling system that recycles 40%
waste water back into the process, thereby leading to higher resource optimization and
contributing towards a greener society
