Introduction

Toyota Motor Corporation, also known as simply Toyota, is a multinational Japanese


automaker with headquarters in Toyota City, Aichi, Japan Kiichiro Toyoda established it,
and it became a corporation on August 28, 1937. One of the biggest automakers in the world,
Toyota produces around 10 million automobiles annually.
The business was first established as a subsidiary of Toyota Industries, a manufacturer of
machines that Kiichiro Toyoda's father, Sakichi Toyoda, created. The Toyota Group, one of
the biggest corporations in the world, now includes both businesses. The firm created its first
product, the Type A engine, in 1934 when it was still a division of Toyota Industries, and its
first passenger automobile, the Toyota, in 1936.

Toyota has operated its company with a concentration on car manufacturing and sales since
its establishment in order to make a positive impact on a more prosperous society through the
production of vehicles.
The business has assembled 75 Years of Toyota to commemorate its 75th birthday. Learn
more about the company's development over the past 75 years.
 The initial Japan's Toyota Training Program
o To improve the technical knowledge of the senior mechanics and foreman-level staff
at its distributors, Toyota introduced its first comprehensive technological education
and training programme in 1965.
o The participants in the six-month programme, which was offered twice a year in the
spring and fall, learned about the construction, functionality, disassembly/inspection,
assembly, and maintenance of all the various parts and components of Toyota cars,
ranging from the suspension and electrical systems to the drivetrains, steering
systems, and engines.
o This programme superseded the previous education system, which involved Toyota
teaching employees visiting individual distributors to provide them on-the-job
troubleshooting and service training. These staff members were often stationed in
Japan or locally.
o High-level mechanics who would be able to educate other employees in their own
nations as instructors were the target audience for the new programme. A total of 289
trainees had taken part in this programme by the end of 1976.
 Beginning Initial Steps Toward A Global Approach
Toyota increased the selection of courses available in August 1977 by adding the
North-American and Advanced courses to the regular schedule and by establishing ad
hoc courses as well. A system with three different course kinds emerged as a result:
o The new three-month general course offers distributors' key mechanics training aimed
at enhancing their general technical understanding and maintenance abilities. Every
year, there are three general courses offered, two of which are taught in English and
one in Spanish.
o A one-month advanced training provides distributors' teachers, workshop managers
and foremen the opportunity to learn more about sophisticated and entirely new
systems. Their ability to share what they have learned with employees in their home
countries is the course's ultimate aim. Twice a year, the advanced course is offered.
o The primary instructors of American, Canadian, and Hawaiian distributors are
required to complete the two-week North American course. These main teachers will
teach their own staffs new mechanisms and models when they become available.
Once a year, this course is offered.
