Toyota Motors - History of Productivity


History of Toyota Motors - 75 years
https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/text/entering_the_automotive_business/chapter1/section4/item2.html

1933:
Automobile Department is created within Toyoda Automatic Loom Works.
1935:
First Model A1 passenger car prototype is completed.
1937:
Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. is formed.
1950:
Toyota Motor Sales Co., Ltd. is established.


When the war ended in August 1945 most of Japan's industrial facilities had been wrecked, and the Toyoda (or Toyota as it became known after the war) production plants had suffered extensively. The company had 3,000 employees but no working facilities, and the economic situation in Japan was chaotic. But the Japanese tradition of dedication and perseverance proved to be Toyota's most powerful tool in the difficult task of reconstruction.


In 1950, in the end management and labor agreed to reduce the total workforce from 8,000 to 6,000 employees,

By 1950, the cumulative production of Toyota, after 13 years of operation, was 2685 automobiles, as compared to the 7000 vehicles Ford’s Rouge plant was putting out per day.


In 1903, Ford's 125 workers made 1,700 cars in three different models (13.6 cars per worker). In 1914, 13,000 workers at Ford made 260,720 cars (20.05 cars/worker). By comparison, in the rest of the industry, it took 66,350 workers to make 286,770 (4.322 cars per worker).

In 1955, General Motors produced 4,477,000 cars and trucks in U.S. factories with 555,000 employees, or eight cars for every worker. In 2009 GM sold 2,084,000 cars in the United States with 77,000 employees, or 27 cars per worker. Toyota produces almost 50 cars per employee and the new Hyundai plant in Beijing is aiming at a 100 cars per worker.

Daimler Benz

1906 to 1913 were further expansion years, with the creation of new capacity reducing the number of external suppliers. Increased mechanization took the annual productivity from 0.7 cars per worker, to 10

The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate that in 1980, about 20 million manufacturing employees in the United States produced about $800 billion worth of goods. Today, (2012) 12 million workers produce almost $2 trillion worth. This is good for the economy but not so good for employment.
