About GAC Toyota Motor
GAC Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. (GTMC) was incorporated on September 1st, 2004, as a joint-venture vehicle project, established and operated by Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd and Toyota Motor Corporation.
Toyota Motor Corporation's vehicle production system is a way of "making things" that is sometimes referred to as a "lean manufacturing system" or a "Just-in-Time (JIT) system," and has come to be well known and studied worldwide.
This production control system has been established based on many years of continuous improvements, with the objective of "making the vehicles ordered by customers in the quickest and most efficient way, in order to deliver the vehicles as quickly as possible."
The Toyota Production System (TPS) was established based on two concepts: The first is called "Jidoka" (which can be loosely translated as "automation with a human touch") which means that when a problem occurs, the equipment stops immediately, preventing defective products from being produced; The second is the concept of "Just-in-Time," in which each process produces only what is needed by the next process in a continuous flow. Based on the basic philosophies of Jidoka and Just-in-Time, the TPS can efficiently and quickly produce vehicles of sound quality, one at a time, that fully satisfy customer requirements. During this visit to the plant, Toyota will deliver an exciting presentation to our members on the Toyota Production System, an important pillar of Lean Production System.
