Toyota prides itself on its human resource policies like recruitment, selection, training, performance appraisal, and compensation. It focuses on hiring people with strong work ethics and providing extensive training. Toyota was one of the first companies to establish manufacturing plants outside Japan to reduce costs and has expanded globally since then. While this expansion provides benefits like employment and economic growth, it can also result in disadvantages such as loss of culture and environmental degradation.

Toyota has developed an integrated lean manufacturing system called the Toyota Production System (TPS) to improve quality and productivity. TPS focuses on just-in-time production, continuous flow, and stopping production to fix problems. Toyota also focuses on cost leadership through lean supply chain management and reducing inventory levels. Other competitive advantages include their strong company culture developed around the Toyota Way principles, human resource practices, and segmentation of customers.
Toyota's culture and management behavior is based on Schein's three-level model of culture, which includes artifacts, espoused beliefs and values, and underlying assumptions. Toyota emphasizes teamwork and mutual trust between employees and managers. The Japanese culture that influences Toyota is characterized by collectivism, respect for people, continuous improvement, and long-term thinking. Toyota promotes equality between employees and managers through uniform dress codes and common areas.
Toyota has a global supply chain management system focused on lean manufacturing principles. They aim to produce only what is needed through just-in-time production and a pull system. Toyota designs their production system and supplier relationships to eliminate waste and variability. This includes designing parts for commonality, limiting optional variations, and sourcing locally for flexibility. Toyota audits suppliers using metrics focused on quality, cost, delivery and their implementation of Toyota's philosophies. Their logistics network transports parts through local and global inbound routes planned through optimization software.

CORPORATE PROFILE
5. For us, ideal manufacturing reflects a commitment to produce products of the highest quality that meet customers’
expectations and enrich their mobility life.
We aim to carry on the spirit of our founder Sakichi Toyoda who strongly believed in the thorough, repeated
testing of products and only sent products to market that had been perfected. He believed that “A product should
never be sold unless it has been tested thoroughly and satisfactorily.” With this in mind, we always focus on
realising advanced, high-quality manufacturing.
Manufacturing
Fully leveraging manufacturing
Carrying on the spirit of our founder and
focusing on quality
Creating innovative technologies that
distinguish us from our competitors
Aiming to create optimal production lines
through kaizen (continuous improvement)
Enhancing manufacturing capabilities by
transferring skills
Toyota Boshoku’s origins date back to when Sakichi Toyoda, the
first person in Japan to invent the automatic loom, established
a cotton-spinning factory to fully develop the features and
performance of the loom and produce top-quality thread.
Sakichi, who always sought to develop technologies that were
at the vanguard of the times and succeeded in creating a
number of inventions, had a strong conviction in the thorough,
repeated testing of products, and that only perfected products
should be sent to market. He believed that “A product should
never be sold unless it has been tested thoroughly and satisfac-
torily.” We carry on that spirit as we work to comprehensively
enhance quality levels.
As a global manufacturer, we work to integrate developmen-
tal technology, production technology and production processes
in our manufacturing system, which includes creating technical
drawings that incorporate quality factors from the design stage
in addition to improving quality at the manufacturing stage.
Besides meeting the demands of automakers and complying
with the laws of different countries and regions, we conduct
manufacturing that places an emphasis on quality based on our
own regulations and standards.
In order to efficiently make value-added products, we work to
develop unique core production technologies and enhance our
technological capabilities by making constant improvements.
For instance, in the precision press field, we significantly
enhanced quality and accuracy as well as production efficiency
for round recliners for seats (a precision part comprised of a
reclining structure that alters the seat angle) through the
development of the Fine Hold Stamping (FHS) method, an
advanced technology that even speciality manufacturers cannot
emulate. In addition, we have achieved higher added value and
efficiency in the production of elements for cabin air filters that
cleanse the air of particles by employing the melt-blow method.
By further developing new core technologies and making
production equipment even more compact, we aim to further
improve production technologies. Further, we will create inno-
vative technologies that distinguish us from the competition by
integrating core technologies that have been developed and
matured in such fields as seats, interior components, filters,
powertrain components and textiles and by actively pursuing
the expansion of technological domains.
Toyota Boshoku continuously works to create highly efficient
production lines by undertaking kaizen activities on a daily
basis. Rather than relying on our achievements to date, we
repeatedly say that even the latest production line is not the
best it can be and constantly undertake efforts to improve
productivity.
Our aim is to create simple production lines with minimal
processes that require fewer man-hours and are streamlined.
These lines only produce what is needed, when it is needed and
in the quantity needed according to the Just-In-Time concept.
We strive to create production lines that are compact, waste-
free and highly productive. Through constant improvements,
our ultimate goal is to create optimal, all-purpose lines that can
produce a range of products on a single line.
Going forward, we seek to create a global production system
that meets customers’ needs anywhere in the world by intro-
ducing the initiatives implemented in Japan to other regions.
In order to carry out leading-edge, high-quality manufacturing
on a global basis, we share the Toyota Boshoku manufacturing
spirit with its focus on quality, as well as advanced skills devel-
oped in Japan, with our group companies around the world.
We introduce training methods so that people who come
from different cultures and speak other languages can master
our manufacturing customs and develop skills they can use as
leaders. For instance, members in group companies that re-
ceived education and training in Japan help nurture younger
local personnel in respective regions.
We aim to spread both Japanese and Toyota Boshoku manu-
facturing around the world as a means to strengthen our global
manufacturing competitiveness.

Helping to raise skills to enhance workplace
competencies
In teaching specialised skills, we established the Toyota Boshoku
Technical Skills Training Centre to develop human resources
who can enhance workplace competencies around the world.
Company members from all corners of the globe gather here to
learn fundamental manufacturing skills before communicating
what they have learned to their respective regions, thereby
raising skills worldwide. In the skills training and recognition
system, depending on such factors as their years of experience,
members start from the basics to learning skills at the applica-
tion level via genchi-genbutsu, with the aim of systematically
gaining knowledge and skills required at the workplace. The
training is used to increase capabilities at three levels, specifi-
cally in terms of common knowledge, specialised knowledge
and practical skills.
Meanwhile, the All TB Skills Competition is held every year
for company members from different parts of the world to
compete against each other.

In order to provide opportunities for growth to all company members working in the Toyota Boshoku group, we
are expanding and enhancing various human resources development programmes.
We are always committed to nurturing global human resources to ensure swift response to changes in
automobile-related environments and the expansion of global business.
Human Resources Development
Nurturing personnel capable of taking an
active role globally
Developing global human resources by
sharing the TB Way
Developing diverse human resources
through education and training programmes
In addition to developing personnel who play an active role
globally, we are promoting the development of regional mem-
bers based in respective regions by strengthening the education
and training of locally recruited personnel.
A common element of human resources development is
understanding and practicing the TB Way. This involves sharing
the values and behaviour espoused by the TB Way and making
sure the fundamental philosophy underpinning the TB Way of
“contributing to society by developing leading-edge technolo-
gies and manufacturing high-quality products” is fully under-
stood. We also aim to increase company members’ overall
capabilities from two perspectives. First, from an individual
standpoint, we encourage personnel to trust in and exercise
their ability to think independently. Second, from a team
perspective, we pursue mutual growth for both the Company
and members based on mutual trust and accountability.
Global Trainee System
A wide variety of personnel learn together and grow together.
Designed to heighten global awareness and language skills, this
system provides employees with opportunities to work in
foreign countries through short-term (one- to two-year) person-
nel transfers among companies within the Toyota Boshoku
group. The program enhances capabilities in development,
production engineering, production control, quality assurance,
and other human resource functions, strengthens communica-
tions skills to be active internationally, and develops personnel
ready to act as the leaders of tomorrow.
Master Trainer Programme
This programme aims to cultivate trainers who can teach
problem solving, on-the-job training (OJT) and policy manage-
ment based on the TB Way. They are held at regular intervals in
Japan to develop trainers who will be active in their regions of
the world.
CORPORATE PROFILE
The Toyota Boshoku group has created an education and training
system in each region aimed at increasing skills from various
perspectives. This system can be broadly divided into three
areas: (1) “Training by job classification,” which is applicable to
everyone from new recruits to division directors; (2) “Profes-
sional training,” which is mainly for functional divisions related
to such areas as technology, quality and finance; and (3) “Self-
development,” which includes English conversation lessons and
correspondence courses, among others.
Moreover, at Toyota Boshoku Technical Skills Academy in
Japan, which aims to foster young leaders for the workplace,
personnel learn the fundamentals of machine systems and
electrical systems through basic practical training on material
mechanics and circuit diagram production. At the same time,
we develop human resources who have a global outlook and a
profound awareness of the need for cooperation and camara-
derie as well as a good balance between mind, body and spirit.
We achieve this through teaching business etiquette, global
education and living in dorms during the programme.

Global efforts regarding environmental
issues
The Toyota Boshoku group holds events that enable company
members to interact with each other. Besides the Global Ekiden
(relay road race) for group companies worldwide, a regatta and
summer festivals are held in Japan.
Local residents in addition to Toyota Boshoku group members
and their families participate in these events, which play an
important role in creating a bridge between the Company and
local communities. We also strive to instil a sense of unity in
each workplace and deepen exchange between business
entities to create a dynamic and motivating environment for
Toyota Boshoku members.
We promote environmental protection in all areas of our
business activities and work to resolve environmental issues
globally as a unified group. By reducing environmental loads
through eco-friendly development, design and production, we
pursue the potential of our environmental technologies. We do
this by making automobile interior components lighter to
enhance fuel efficiency and by employing plant-derived materi-
als to reduce CO2. We create products that are both comfort-
able and ecologically responsible by maximising the potential of
our environmental technologies in order to contribute to the
realisation of a sustainable society.
Additionally, we are promoting sustainable factory activities
over the medium to long term that aim to use nature to create
factories in harmony with the natural environment. This
involves working to reduce CO2 via the three key themes of
“Eco-innovation,” “Eco-energy” and “Eco-communication.”

that are suited to the needs of respective regions.
Thorough reinforcement of risk management
The Toyota Boshoku group has created an effective manage-
ment system in order to respond swiftly to management risk,
risk in daily operations and other risks such as disasters and
accidents. We also endeavour to predict and prevent damage
and minimise the impact should a crisis occur.
In addition, we set up the Large-Scale Disaster Countermea-
sure Committee and Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) and
further strengthened collaboration between the functions of
the Global Mainstay Hub and Regional Management Col-
laboration Hubs (RMCH), which has served to reinforce the
crisis management system of the entire group.
