      Toyota s focus on quality is because of an American Charles Edwards demming. Who taught Toyota the art of quality control after the war. He was a US statistician that was an auditor and tried to educate the US chamber of commerce but they did not listen. So he went to Japan and the rest is history

  • @20tea
    @20tea Před 3 lety +578

    I've heard that Toyota sent engineers to American junk yards in the 80s to study why their vehicles broke down. The knowledge gained from that experience allowed them to over build parts that encounter most wear and tear. Just impressed with that kind of interest and passion on building quality vehicles. Think this was mentioned on Top Gear years ago.

      I noticed that when I used to live in Centroamérica, some Toyota over there are similar to the ones from USA (Corolla , Camry, Yaris) but different at the same time, thats when i noticed they built their cars according to the region. On the contrary american brands mostly built for the USA and export those vehicles overseas, they usually fall apart within a couple of years. BTW i read on a blog long time ago, H Ford used to send engineers to Yunk yards and check what parts of their cars were still strong and hadn't wear out so they can lower the quality of them on the next built..

      Toyota intentionally does not push the limits of performance, when they could do that. They looking for dependable transportation at an affordable cost. The use the same materials that Ford or Chevy. In some cases the parts used in Toyotas are from the same sources as those used by Ford and Chevy.

    Toyota: "Don't accept inferior quality from the previous process, don't make rejects in one's product, and if a reject has been produced, don't knowingly send it to the next process." This is quite different from the American style, the bosses only care about hitting the production numbers (their bonuses and evaluations depend on it). That's what we have final assembly QA and repair for. If they are too busy, just ship it to the customer. That's what warranties are for.

    Mostly owned Toyotas and wanted to try something different. Was looking at a 2017-2019 Honda CR-V, but with the CVT and oil diluted 1.5T, could help but pass and just stick to a 2018 RAV4 SE with the bulletproof 2.5L & 6Spd automatic. Now owning a 2009 Corolla XRS, 2013 Corolla S, 2015 4Runner SR5, 2016 Prius and now a 2018 RAV4 SE.

      5 cars for one person? What do you do - rent them out?

      @@nickzourikian4555 I've owned more than one car myself in the past only because I was starting to collect classic Fords but when the mortgage crisis of the early 2000's hit I sold them to help a family member save their home.

    Scotty, The Woven City reminds me of a time when I had my young daughter with me at my workplace. My work was to create the physical layout plans for computer chips. On these chips, we have to put the company name to establish copyright for our product. I worked for Dallas Semiconductor. I had a 40" wide multi-color plot of a completed chip layout on a table. My young daughter looked at that, seeing the multicolor patterns of transistors, resistors, capacitors, diodes and interconnecting wires. She pointed at the word, "Dallas" and asked, "Dad, we are here, where is our house?" She interpreted the chip as a complex city map. Smart kid. Scary smart.
