I take Issue with Sparrow 28's assement of the Toyota inventing the process. It was an american named Deming who invented Total Quality Management and taught it to the Japanese after WWII. In fact his portrait is on the wall at the world hq of Toyota. Another point inclusive production was invented by Henry Ford. I remeber when I was a kid touring the River Rouge Plant in Dearborn in 71. Back then then brought in the Iron Ore on Ford Ore Carriers, Made the Steel,Bodies, Engines and Drivetrain componets all in the same complex of plants interconnected. So the ford plant in Brazil is nothing new its just with stranglehold the UAW has on ford in combination with management by quarter instead of the longterm goals
