Logistic system of toyota. Logistics includes various operations for the movement of materials (parts) and products, starting from parts procurement through to the delivery of products to customers. Those operations located between parts production and creation of the final product are referred to as production parts logistics. Production parts logistics in the Toyota Production System is based on the Just-in-Time principle and means transporting only what is needed, when it is needed, and in the amount needed. Additionally, it is founded on the so-called pull system, whereby each process takes from the preceding process only what is needed, when it is needed, and in the amount needed, thus eliminating the waste represented by excess production. Until the completion of the Motomachi Plant in 1959, production parts logistics at Toyota Motor Corporation was concerned only with logistics within the plant and in dealings with suppliers. Since then, the increase in the number of plant bases in Japan, the start of overseas local production (CKD), and more recently the rapid expansion of overseas local production and the opening of plants within remote locations of Japan have led to a major development of the role of production parts logistics and expansion of relevant strategies.
