The Loom That Knew When to Stop | The Entire History of Toyota

‪@EmpireTabOpen‬ The entire history of Toyota. This Toyota documentary tells the true Toyota story, from Sakichi Toyoda’s self-stopping loom to the world’s biggest carmaker. You’ll see how Kiichiro Toyoda turned loom money into cars, and how Taiichi Ohno shaped the Toyota Production System around just in time, lean manufacturing and the andon cord. From the failed Toyopet Crown to the Toyota Corolla, the NUMMI plant, Lexus history and the Toyota Prius, every turning point is here. We also cover the Toyota recall crisis under Akio Toyoda and why the Toyota hybrid bet is paying off today.
