A few days ago, according to Japanese media reports, Toyota issued a declaration: the Toyota 4.0 era has begun, and established a new factory operating system. That is, while maintaining the world's annual production system of more than 10 million vehicles, it is ensured that there is no deficit due to any reason such as the yen's depreciation.

According to the Japan Economic Weekly report: Toyota's new system is "Toyota 4.0", and pointed out that Toyota's highest achievement in history is not simply because of the depreciation of the yen, the improvement of production efficiency and the adjustment of prices have also played an important role.
Toyota, who has made a face-lift, is proud of the highest score in history. It can be said that Toyota's history is divided into four stages. The first is the "Toyota 1.0" in the start-up period, and then the 2.0 in the US period. After the 3.0 period of the global expansion period, it finally entered the current 4.0 era.
The second half of the 1990s was the high growth period of "Toyota 3.0". Until the 2007 World Financial Crisis, Toyota established two new factories each year in the world, increasing annual productivity to more than 500,000 units.
Although the body is growing, but the physical strength has not kept up. Toyota’s annual financial report (April 2008-March 2009) during the global financial crisis in 2008 showed that due to the appreciation of the yen and the need to reduce, Toyota suffered the first business deficit since its establishment, with a deficit of 461 billion yen. RMB 23.88 billion). At the same time, the large-scale recall and the Great East Japan Earthquake caused Toyota to be in trouble.
After that, Toyota deeply reflected on the decision of “Toyota 3.0†to expand production capacity. At that time, the exchange rate was 1 US dollar = 85 yen. Toyota hopes to change the system, and even if the sales volume is only 7.5 million, the operating profit can be It has reached 1 trillion yen (about 518 billion yuan). Toyota’s productivity reform movement is called “improvement.â€
Toyota Group's fiscal year 2014 sales reached 272.345 billion yen (about 139.49 billion yuan), an increase of 1.5426 billion yen (about 790 billion yuan) over the same period last year, an increase of 6%. Operating profit was 2,750.6 billion yen (about 140.9 billion yuan), an increase of 458.5 billion yen (about 23.5 billion yuan) over the same period last year, an increase of 20%. Net profit was 2,173.3 billion yen (about 111.3 billion yuan), an increase of 350.2 billion yen (about 177.9 billion yuan) over the same period last year, an increase of 19%.
However, compared to the 2007 annual financial report, we can see that the effect of improving the revenue is very obvious. Before the global financial crisis, Toyota's highest operating profit in 2007 was about 117.6 billion yuan, compared with 142.5 billion yuan last year, a total increase of about 24.864 billion yuan.
In addition, the increase in research and development costs and the increase in labor costs are also important reasons for the decrease in profits.
However, the adjustment of automobile prices and the increase in production efficiency reduced the cost by 1.8 trillion yen (about RMB 932.4 billion), which also maximized the overall operating profit.
The uniform use of the TNGA platform on new parts and the improvement of steel and finishing lines are one of the performance adjustments and productivity gains. During the global expansion period, Toyota increased its production volume and increased the production cost and parts production in order to meet the needs of the local market.
Toyota changed its strategy by maximizing the integration of major components such as engines and transmissions, and now it is custom-made to produce a wide range of looks and interiors. After the launch of the new Prius for the new integrated platform this year, Toyota immediately proposed a plan for half of the global production in 2020 to be completed by three platforms.
At the same time, Toyota is constantly developing production technology. Through reform and innovation, Toyota's production line of automotive steel sheets has been reduced by about 90%, and investment costs have also been reduced by 30%. The coating production line also reduced investment costs and resource costs by 40% after the reform. Therefore, the necessary investment in the construction of the new plant has decreased by about 40% compared with the past.
After three years, Toyota once again invested 150 billion yen (about RMB 7.755 billion) to set up a new factory in China and Mexico. This is a confident performance of "Toyota 4.0", and the Toyo economy is analyzed.
Toyota's series of parts companies are also undergoing structural adjustments. The company's parts and components series, such as Denso, Aisin Seiki, Toyota Automatic Weaving Machine, will repeat the business adjustment in the first half of this year.
