Even wondered just how a car is built? Find out today as Toyota broadcast hundreds of tweets that follow the production of a new Toyota Auris Hybrid, from raw steel to a vehicle ready for customer delivery. Production started at 6am this morning as raw steel was pressed into a body for the car. The next stop was the weld shop.
Minute-by-minute, Factory to Forecourt will chart panel stamping, welding, painting, plastics, assembly and quality control. As well as explaining the different activities involved – there are 325 separate processes on the assembly line alone – it will demonstrate how the principles of the Toyota Production System are fundamental to the way the people work in the factory and ensure the best built-in quality for owners.
The Factory to Forecourt project has been designed to provide a valuable educational resource, for school and further education students alike, across a wide range of disciplines.
