History:
Toyota's origins lie in the Japanese weaving industry when Sakichi
Toyoda invented the world's first automatic loom and, subsequently,
set up the Toyoda Spinning and Weaving Company in 1918.

Toyota Production System
After World War II, Toyota was almost bankrupt.
Post war demand was low and minimising the cost per unit
through economies of scale was inappropriate.
This led to the development of demand-led pull systems.
The Japanese could not afford the expensive mass production
facilities of the type used in the USA so they instead focused on
reducing waste and low cost automation.
Likewise, Toyota could not afford to maintain high inventory levels.
