1.Toyota Position ranking
The Global 2000 ranks the largest
companies in the world using four
metrics: sales, profits, assets and
market value. Toyota ranks 11th on the
2024 Fortune Global 500 list.

Supply chain challenges
facing Toyota
Ø No spare products:
All products can only be produced according to actual orders,
and unexpected orders cannot be met.
ØLogistics and Transportation problem:
Bottlenecks in shipping, delays at ports, and the rising cost of
freight have made it difficult for Toyota to maintain a smooth
flow of components to its factories.
ØInventory Management:
Balancing the just-in-time inventory model with the need for
flexibility in the face of supply chain disruptions remains a key
challenge for Toyota.

 5.Examine how the company Toyota
redesigned their distribution networks
to anticipate the challenges

Toyota has long been recognized for its innovative and

efficient distribution networks, underpinned by its lean
manufacturing principles and Just-In-Time (JIT) production
system. Toyota has adapted its distribution networks to
address them proactively.

MONWUBA CHIDIEBELE UCHENNA

(240269887)
12/09/2024 23
Here's an examination of how Toyota redesigned its networks to anticipate various challenges:

Diversifying Supply Chains to Increase Resilience: Toyota recognized the need to make its supply chain
more resilient without compromising its JIT principles. After facing disruptions, Toyota increased its
buffer stock of critical components, especially semiconductors and essential materials.

Adapting to Globalization and Local Market Demands: Toyota has worked to create more regionalized
distribution networks. Instead of centralizing production and distribution in one area, Toyota has built
manufacturing and distribution centers closer to end markets.

Digital Transformation: Toyota began adopting smart logistics solutions through increased use of data
analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT). These technologies allow Toyota to
track shipments, monitor supplier performance, and predict potential disruptions before they occur.
Sustainability: To reduce the impact of transportation on the climate and eventually replace
petroleum-based fuels, also mitigating the global strife associated with petroleum-based fuels’
(Gable 2014).

Global Crisis Readiness: Toyota established a global “rescue system” for its supply chain, which
involves mapping every component down to raw materials, identifying multiple suppliers for
critical parts, and conducting regular audits to ensure readiness.
Conclusion
•Toyota's proactive approach to distribution network redesign has allowed it to stay resilient in
the face of global challenges. By diversifying suppliers, embracing digital technology, focusing on
sustainability.
•Toyota has created a robust distribution system that not only meets current demands but is
prepared to adapt to future challenges. These innovations demonstrate Toyota's long-standing
commitment to efficiency and continuous improvement while maintaining the flexibility to
navigate an increasingly complex global supply chain.
