The Toyota Philosophy Is Responsible For Tmhes Position As Material Handling Market Leaders
The key to the Toyota Way and what makes Toyota stand out is not any of the individual elementsbut what is important is having all the elements together as a system. (Taiichi Ohno)
The Toyota Way principles are applied by all of Toyotas staff around the world at every level of the company. This helps TMHE not only to produce quality forklift trucks and services, but to maintain a consistently strong working relationship with its customers.
The Toyota philosophy consists of five core principles; Respect, Teamwork, Challenge, Kaizen and Genchi Genbutsu. Respect and Teamwork make up the Toyota philosophy of Respect for People, whilst Challenge, Kaizen and Genchi Genbutsu comprise Continuous Improvement. Without these foundations, Toyota Material Handling Europe (TMHE) would not maintain the reputation and identity that it does today.
Challenge helps to maintain a long term vision and to meet all situations with the courage and creativity needed to realise that vision, without losing the drive or energy. TMHE also sees Challenge as a means of maintaining its leading position and of always meeting the customers needs in the best possible way, no matter the requirements.
Genchi Genbutsu is Japanese for going to the source. This is imperative to making correct decisions, building consensus and achieving goals. In the TMHE production process, this largely contributes to securing the highest quality products for customers; for example, the manufacturing is stopped immediately if the slightest problem is detected.
Kaizen (continuous improvement in Japanese) means that no process can ever be declared perfect and that there is always room for improvement. TMHEs constant goal is to be the first choice partner in material handling. In the spirit of Kaizen, TMHE constantly optimises its products to better respond to each customers evolving needs (by heavily investing in R&D and in the training of its employees, for instance).
Respect stands for the fact that Toyota makes every effort to understand others, accepts responsibility and does its best to build mutual trust. Respect is firmly rooted in the TMHE culture. The company fosters diversity, nurtures durable relationships with customers and contributes to society through sustainable operations, amongst other initiatives.
Through Teamwork, Toyota stimulates personal and professional growth, shares opportunities for development and maximises individual and team performance. At TMHE, this value equally emphasises the strength of being together among others. The companys 8,000 employees operate as one team, providing customers with the best possible products and services in 30 countries.
With the Toyota Way as a guiding principle and a working standard, TMHE and its customers, stakeholders and employees are stronger together.
