The Toyota Way

The Toyota Way is the foundation of how

Toyota does business

It focuses on:

•Respect

•Teamwork

•Challenge

•Kaizen

•Genchi Genbutsu


The Toyota Way is in all parts of our operation


Respect – Grow our people

Sustainability requires

engaged employees.

We address this through:

• Empowering employees in

the workplace (Suggestion

Scheme, Andon)

• Quality/environment awards

• Forming and recognising

Environment Teams in key

areas of the business

• Developing employees

(Upskilling, ICT)


Case Study

Activity:

TMCA recently undertook an ‘Energy

Treasure Hunt’

This project involved:

• Promotion through internal

Newsletter

• Forming project teams in each shop

• Providing training and a base

‘checklist’ of potential activities

• Checking non-production, start-up

and normal operations for ideas

Outcome:

• The Treasure hunt identified 332

Kaizen ideas with a saving potential

of 958 MWhr/yr


Teamwork – Collaborate across boundaries

Sustainability requires

partnerships.

TMCA looks to:

• National and International

developments and responses

(TMC)

• Involvement with partners

– Suppliers (local/global)

– Dealers

– Affiliates/Competitors

– Government


TMCA is currently commissioning a new biological waste treatment process.

• Reduces prescribed waste by 60%

• TMCA partnered with supplier and EPA

• Overseas affiliates are now sending several engineers on study visits (2-3 months)

• Local staff got involved through ‘naming contest’ – for “Chester the Digester”

• Now trialling new waste streams

Teamwork – Case Study


Challenge - Hoshin (Breakthrough thinking)

Sustainability requires new ideas

• Hoshin is the philosophy of

challenging the existing Status

quo (i.e. Prius Hybrid)

• Question when someone says

“Its always been done this way”

• Ask ‘Why?” at least 5 times

• Set ambitious targets (50% not

5%)

• Concepts can often be trialled at

a small scale first.


Hoshin – Case Study

TMCA has recently

commissioned its “Solar Roof

PV project”

This project involves 0.5MW PV

installation

• $2 million investment (50%

co funding)

• 5 Year payback

• 2% Reduction in CO2

emissions

• 600,000 tons of CO2 abated

over 20 years

• $200,000 cost reduction per

annum

• Online in April 2014


Kaizen (Continuous improvement) – Be innovative

Sustainability happens

everyday and everywhere

• Get the best out of

mandatory programs

(EREP, etc.)

• Focus on monitoring and

measurement

• Visualisation helps to

maintain performance

• Appropriate responsibilities

and escalation

• Daily/Weekly/Monthly

Management


Kaizen - Case Study

• Detailed analysis of current power

consumption

• Install Inverter to control speed of Fans

• Consult with all stakeholders

Activity – Install Variable Speed Drives:

Outcome:

• Power savings: $23,294

• Gas savings: $28,071 (reduced air flow)

• Maintenance: $2,128 (no need to repair

belts & pulleys on a regular basis)

• Equipment parts cost savings: $3,950

(motors ramped up slowly = less stress)

• Total savings: $57,443 per year

• Implementation cost: $34,700

• Pay back 7 Months


Genchi Genbutsu (Go to the workplace)

Sustainability requires common understanding

• Familiarise yourself with your operations (and operators) at the Genba

• Problems become easily visible

• One visit can save a thousand words

• Our senior management visits the shop floor monthly to review environmental performance

• Visits include a ‘Kaizen’ presentation of an improvement idea

• Builds good relationships between staff and management


Monthly Environment PMRs

review

• 30 minute monthly meeting in

the workplace

• Deviation to targets identified

through visualisation

• Countermeasures developed

and signed off in presence of

management

• Issues readily identified by visit

to actual location

• Representation from other

departments

• Instils a sense of care and

responsibility

Genchi Genbutsu – Case Study


Nemawashi (Building consensus)

Sustainability needs consensus

We want to be part of the businesses

which set future directions within

government and industry by:

• Being a part of government and

business roundtables

• Participating in trials and training

• Helping to develop new Standards

(tailpipe emissions etc)

• Open discussion and analysis of

sustainability issues (i.e. ELV’s)

• Developing future roadmaps for

new products (PHEV, FCV etc)


Sustainability can be exciting

It is important to have a sense of

‘excitement’ in business.

• We want to instil in our

employees and customers a

sense of adventure and fun

• Involvement in driver training

• Sponsoring sports and motor

sports

• Encouraging participation in

CSR activities by employees
