In an effort to publicize the effects of the Toyota Production System and the benefits of streamlining and simplifying work processes, Toyota has released three short films collectively known as “The Toyota Effect”. By sharing the Toyota Production System with their partners and community organizations, Toyota hopes to increase efficiency and decrease unnecessary spending, as well as help improve the lives of those around them.
Toyota teamed up with three award-winning directors, Kief Davidson, Steve James, and Ross Kauffman to make the films and then debuted them at the New York Film Festival this week. In the first video, 116 Innovators (directed by Steve James), Toyota team members pay a visit to a Chicago-based partner, ACE Metal Crafts. Ultimately, many small changes were made that made a very large impact on the time it took to carry out tasks, specifically within the shipping department, and the goal of improving efficiency was certainly met.
Watch the video above to see exactly how ACE Metal Crafts benefitted from their unique partnership with Toyota.
