Toyota Motor will restart operations at 14 factories in Japan on Wednesday, after a production system malfunction brought domestic output to a halt.
on Wednesday, after a production system malfunction brought domestic output to a halt at the world's biggest-selling automaker.
The company continues to investigate the cause of the glitch, which it said was not due to a cyberattack and prevented it from ordering components.calculationsToyota's domestic production had been on the rebound after a series of output cuts it blamed on semiconductor shortages. Output was up 29% in January-June, the first such increase in two years. Its Japan output averaged about 13,500 vehicles daily in the first half of the year, Reuters calculations showed.
"Output was running at full capacity so there's little additional room for production," said Seiji Sugiura, an analyst at Tokai Tokyo Research Institute. Toyota is a pioneer of just-in-time inventory management, which keeps down costs but means supply chain snarls put production at risk.
