Toyota's Reliability Secrets REVEALED

Toyota: Allows employees to stop the assembly line and fix issues Boeing: "I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that"

I approve this message

A good friend of mine works at the Alabama Toyota factory that manufactures the Tundra engines. He said that each engine goes through a 300+ point inspection and each of those points has to be checked 3 times to be checked off. They are extremely meticulous in making sure each part fits the way it should and is put together with the utmost integrity

I'm gonna say I work at a toyota dealership and kiazen extends to the pre delivery inspections. At my dealership we found that some fenders on a bunch of rav 4 models were coming in and were not installed right at the factory. We actually got rewarded for properly pointing it out and reporting it by toyota itself.

It's not that Toyota over-engineers their cars, it's more like all the other manufacturers under-engineer their cars.

I work as a quality engineer for an injector plant and can say that Toyota's durability testing is the toughest tests we run, by a land slide.

I have been a Toyota/Lexus tech for 38 years. By far the best cars out there for reliability, longevity and resale value.

Can confirm, have driven the same Toyota for 8 years and am literally forgetting that cars can break down. It's not just the engines, it's every damn part, they don't chew tires, brakes, anything. Amazing products. Mechanical engineer.

Toyota : “I will not win immediately but Definitely...”

I met a fellow FJ owner a few months ago. He had OVER 500k miles on his rig with no major repairs and he BEAT the living crap outta that thing, yet it’s still going strong!

I started working at a Toyota dealership about 2 weeks ago and all this is true. I have had so many customers come in and talk about how reliable there cars are and that they will only buy Toyotas. And as a sales man I have to be pretty informed about each car, and the amount of over engineering is astounding. One thing they didn't say in this video is how safety is the number one concern for Toyota. All those extra stuff that you would have to pay extra for in other brands come standard on every vehicle off the line.

I have my father's 1998 land cruiser 100 series that has 550k and it's still running perfectly.

fun fact: Russian equivalent to "measure twice, cut once" sounds exactly like "measure 7 times, cut once"

During the 2010 Merapi Eruption a guy used his 90s Toyota Kijang to save almost everyone living near Mt. Merapi and the car didn't broke down even with volcanic ashes and dust covering the whole car and engine, the only problem was the ashes was so thick he needed to wipe the windshield by himself.

As far as I know, Toyota's "just in time" strategy is more about how they work with little or no inventory of materials beyond what is necessary for immediate production.

Toyota: You can only make a quality product once, so put time, care, and effort into it. Nissan: CVT go woooooooo.

Was about to make an “I’m Scotty Kilmer and I approve this message” but the man himself actually said I approve

I work in the defense industry and we implemented Kaizen about 5 years ago. There have been so many process,quality, and safety improvements since we started using it. 99%of the time the best ideas come from the most inexperienced employees. Life changing!!

My parents used to drive Honda/Ford and I used with Subaru as a daily driver during university time. Now I work at Toyota factory in Cambridge as newly hired last year and have learned a lot of things from there. I'm highly honoured with many friendly workers there to get along and even if I meet Akio Toyoda someday, I would be tearing to bow my head down to him respectfully for keeping generation Toyota/Lexus alive!
