Toyota's Ideas for Good

Toyota strives for efficiency, making better cars with less waste. So Toyota created a revolutionary production method designed to eliminate errors caused by inconsistencies, waste and overburden.

The new method of manufacturing was adopted by some very unlikely sources: hospitals. Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh used Toyota's production system to learn from their errors, streamline their processes, and stretch their budget. By standardizing their processes and increasing efficiency, nurses and doctors can now spend more time with their patients.
