Company Overview: Toyota Autoparts Philippines
Toyota Autoparts Philippines is the global production and supply base for
manual transmissions for the Innovative International Multi-purpose Vehicle
(IMV) project. Toyota initiated the IMV project to create an optimized global
manufacturing and supply system for pickup trucks and multipurpose vehicles
to satisfy market demand in more than 140 countries worldwide. Toyota
Autoparts Philippines is located in Laguna, City of Santa Rosa with 1,063 team
members. Their main customers are from other Toyota affiliates located in
other Asian countries, Argentina and South Africa.
The Challenge : Keeping Track of Hundreds of Components
Toyota Autoparts Philippines assembles two manual transmissions models
(with each comprising more than hundreds of parts) and Constant-Velocity
(CV) Joint. Each end-product needs to undergo about 12 processes from raw
material to the complete product. These processes include machining, grind-
ing, heat treatment and casting. An average of 600 units of transmission and
780 set of CVJ are produced per day.
Keeping track of the hundreds of parts that go into each of the models has
been a challenge, as these parts come from hundreds of suppliers, located
both locally and overseas. Previously, Toyota Autoparts Philippines employed a
manual method to track the parts used, which meant that each assembly line
worker required a significant amount of time to capture and input this data
into a centralized database.
For Toyota Autoparts Philippines, a key goal is complete customer
satisfaction, as well as to make it easy to trace the defective parts. In
addition, Toyota Autoparts Philippines is continually improving the efficiency
and productivity in the supply chain, based on the guiding principle of Kaizen,
or "improvement" in Japanese.
