Earlier in my life I was offered a once in a lifetime opportunity to work for Toyota in a greenfield automobile manufacturing facility. I started there with the very 1st production team hired and spent considerable time in Japan studying the Toyota Production System (TPS). This provided an amazing opportunity for me to learn the true art of Kaizen, changepoint management, Lean Manufacturing Principles, Continuous Improvement Methodology, PDCA, to name a few. Throughout my 30+ years at Toyota I experienced 1st hand the facility grow from a few hundred employees in one plant to over 9000 employees in three plants. Over the years I supported several other new Toyota manufacturing facilities greenfield launches as well. The one assignment that was most challenging was leading a team to bring the 1st Lexus vehicle from Japan to be built in North America. The network of dedicated true professionals that I developed over my career at Toyota still benefits me today, and I remain fiercely dedicated to them all as well & available to them all whenever needed.
