Transcripts
[Music]
every Toyota car you see on the road is
made in a plant just like this with so
many people working together all with
care and craftsmanship
we call this monozukuri and it's in the
30 000 parts that make up a vehicle
and it's in every aspect of the five
primary processes stamping welding
painting assembly and inspection
yeah
now let's take a look at the production
process
car manufacturing begins with the
creation of doors hoods and other body
parts from large steel plates
one car can use more than a dozen types
of Steel plates
[Music]
steel plates are fed into the cutting
machine and punched into different
shapes and sizes
[Music]
steel plates are pressed into the shape
of parts
and it only takes three seconds applying
1 600 tons of pressure to make the part
foreign
the shaped parts are then put together
in welding
it is here where the beautiful shape of
the car comes together
[Music]
first the floor sides and ceiling are
assembled and as many as 4 000 places
are welded
[Music]
welding is performed with high Precision
because it greatly affects the car's
stability
the doors hood and trunk door among
additional parts are attached to the
assembled body
then with the human touch and visual
check an inspector confirms quality
[Music]
the paint process starts with a wash
it's an important step for the preceding
layers of paint
the first step is the primer process the
body is dipped into a pool of rust
resistant paint
[Music]
then sealer is applied to steel plate
joints
[Music]
next the collar body is prepared for the
middle coat while it's not seen it's the
care taken for this middle coat that
helps achieve a beautiful color
[Music]
the next step is the top coating process
[Music]
cars painted one by one with its
designated color
and finally a clear coat is sprayed to
add luster
[Music]
after the car body dries inspectors
rigorously check the painted surface
[Music]
the parts installed here are made with
the cooperation of more than 100 Parts
suppliers in addition to Toyota's own
plants
as many as 3 000 parts are installed in
a line more than half a mile long
the doors are temporarily removed to
create space to work
[Music]
interior components such as electrical
wiring and the ceiling liner followed by
the engine brakes and other
undercarriage components are installed
then bumpers tires
seats windshield and rear glass are
installed
finally the doors are reattached
[Music]
once assembled inspectors confirm that
correct parts are installed on a vehicle
and then look for any scratch or dent
next inspectors check and adjust the
lighting fixtures gauges and any unusual
noises then confirm the gas pedal and
brake pedal for effectiveness
[Music]
finally inspectors confirm there are no
oil leaks
only vehicles that have passed all of
these rigorous inspections are delivered
to customers
all of this is done every day for each
and every vehicle shipped domestically
and throughout the world
[Music]
thank you for joining us on a plant tour
today
every time you see a Toyota vehicle we
