Toyota Motor Manufacturing France (TMMF) - Built-in maintenance of the highest quality segment B
Toyota Motor Manufacturing France (TMMF) was the construction of the Toyota Yaris a decade. Maintaining its commitment to deliver vehicles with the highest levels of quality built-in segment B.
Toyota Yaris has already established a reputation for quality, durability and reliability. Such quality can only be achieved through full integration of all facets of the manufacturing process of Toyota.
Development of the new Yaris TMMF project was based on three pillars:
First of all, a better identification of points for each current production areas Toyota Yaris, and very early in the development of these new requirements of the vehicle structure.
Second guarantee for a smooth transition process Yaris new assembly plant to members through a good education and a review of basic skills.
Third, the continuous improvement of quality integrated manufacturing processes of the company, based on the principles of Toyota Production System.
TMMF engineers were involved in the development of the new Toyota Yaris for three years before the start of production - a year and a half more than the previous generation vehicle.
This whole area, and departments of quality has posted a number of engineers in Japan between 6-18 months, to study and improve vehicle design. The feedback generated is very useful to minimize the potential production of quality problems.
The key to maintaining quality integrated in the long run, TMMF also focused on what each part is designed for a more consistent quality in the manufacture of repeated, allowing better control of precision and quality adjustment of construction.
Multi-functional groups working to reform the company focused on design, quality, suppliers and production were also established. Its purpose is to examine the characteristics of critical processes to ensure high quality of the five key functions - braking, acceleration, cornering, fuel leaks and the starting points of fire potential. It also improves the perceived quality of the team, as well as strengthening the management of guarantees and verification of critical processes.
The direct involvement of providers of pre-production vehicles was also important to ensure the best possible quality.
For new parts, Toyota uses concurrent engineering - rapid exchange of ideas in design and manufacture of technical parts between the company and the supplier of parts suppliers and monitoring equipment - multiple visits to ensure supplier quality goals are meet and solve problems before production begins.
Immediately before the start of mass production of new Yaris, each provider TMMF visited regularly, both before and during trial periods Assembly. This allows in-depth discussions, design reviews and testing of assembly parts, with the aim of identifying any potential problems.
Overall, the longer cable for the development of the project within Toyota plant and the early involvement of suppliers in the design process combines state of the early detection of problems. These measures are essential for the Toyota culture of continuous improvement, and ensure that the new Toyota Yaris offers the highest quality built-in B-segment.
