- Last week, Ryan and the team were invited to a behind-the-scenes tour of the Toyota Factory in Derby where a car comes off the line every 88 seconds.
In this episode, we share three mind-blowing takeaways from this trip, including:
- What a “quality control tunnel” is and how you can build one for your business
- Why stopping the line actually speeds up production
- Developing a people-centric culture that turns members into leaders
- The message picking up rubbish sends to your team
- How Toyota UK has never made anyone take a compulsory redundancy
- And what you can expect from Toyota UK’s official partnership with Lean Made Simple

Really enjoy your channel Ryan, thank-you. I had a tour over 6 years ago at Seating Matters which I found extremely exciting - (I live on the north coast and was shocked & delighted that an NI company is world leading!) I’d love to get another sometime in the future. Thanks again. Paul
This is HUGE! Congratulations Ryan on this collaboration opportunity - testimony to your leadership and commitment to making lean simple. And also, in true Paul Akers style, for building this channel to generously share your knowledge and experience. I'm looking forward to the Toyota-collab content.
Thanks so much!!
Exciting!! Looking forward to the upcoming content!! 😆
Exciting stuff guys! Can’t wait!
"The cultural differences are so vast."
So much of what we miss about Toyota and Japan in general stems from LIFE TIME Employment. You become inseparably joined with your company from Day 1. Your future success and the company's success are the same. SO, you will know the name and story of everyone else. You will find ways to work together. You will seek improvement opportunities constantly. You will NOT be fired and you will not quit because those that do can only find lower-paying jobs. Contractors in Japan are paid LOWER rates than full-time employees.
Homogeneity is also a key concept of Japanese culture. Everyone is the same and on the same team. All levels of a company are recognized for their value and contribution. Individual brilliance is far less importance than group performance.
The biggest challenge is to make Lean concepts stick in Western cultures where the focus is on individuality and "what's best for me".
I have been soaking up your improvement videos so thank you for sharing hope for a better future!
You are so welcome!
“Stoping the line” is something I really struggle with.
All my work is made to order (custom) so stopping mid project seems like not serving the customer since they are waiting on their order.
I can also see how I could spend all my time improving instead of producing. How do you balance the need of “get this project completed so you can pay everyone” and “stop the line to improve”?
My current strategy is to make small improvements along the way and larger improvements between one project and the next.
I’m a custom furniture and cabinet maker so my work fluctuates between dinning tables, to Murphy beds, to kitchen cabinets.
Stopping to fix any/every problem is what allowed me to perform ALL duties for 4 positions at the job I just retired from. They just couldn't grasp it.
You can't substitute for quality and expect anything positive.
If the person/employee isn't quality-minded, then he can work elsewhere as there is no substitute for quality.
Hi Ryan, amazing video, amazing talk! thank you for sharing this with your community! As a Lean lover I have to say that this video was music, pure motivation!
Thankyou for watching, we are delighted to hear that it has motivated you :)
great vid guys.
Instead of focusing on quality, auto manufacturers like Ford set aside $4B for warranty and recalls. Their last major recall cost $1.6B.
