Toyota and founder


Until the end of her life, Sakichi Toyoda started thinking about carmakers. Sakichi Toyoda himself was still alive do not think that the chick that business he founded and built later became Toyota's largest automobile manufacturer in Japan and second largest in the world.
And in defense of traditional Toyota, along with other famous managers made ​​famous brands such as Toyota or Toyoda Kiichiro Toyoda Eiji Toyoda Sakichi, the name of the first founders of this group are located most formal position.
Talking about Japan is that people think of electronic goods and automobiles, two leading industry contributed to the brand made ​​famous in Japan. And corporations automobile production in Japan is the No. 1 Toyota.
In 2005, with revenues of nearly USD 180 billion, Toyota is the only group in Japan and is also the only Asian in the "Top ten" of the group have the largest scale. The efficiency of the Toyota business is best seen in the huge profits of up to $ 11 billion in 2005.
In 1936, after taking over the company's Sakichi Toyoda Toyoda, his son Kiichiro Toyota has set the name by substituting the letter "d" with the letter "t" in the name Toyoda.
Since then, Toyota appeared and became one of the greatest icons, the pride of every citizen of Japan. Toyota brand is always one of the world's top brands, worth tens of billions of dollars.
The talented carpenters
Toyota Group to build derived from Sakichi Toyoda, a talented carpenter land of cherry blossoms. Today, Toyota says the name is that people think of cars. But Sakichi Toyoda was known first and foremost because he is the one who invented the first modern textile machines to Japan.
Sakichi Toyoda born February 14, 1867 in a small village in the province of Yamaguchi in a family of poor artisans. His father is a carpenter, his mother at home weaving. Sakichi Toyoda's village is a village weaving traditions of Japan. Go to town entrance is audible voice weaving run throughout the village. Sakichi Toyoda's father was a skilled carpenter, well known in the village.
And Sakichi Toyoda has inherited the genes of his father there. He Sakichi Toyoda when less than 10 years old are passionate about carpentry and proved very skilled in the saw cut, close pair of wooden utensils.
Like most rural children, only finished primary school, Sakichi Toyoda had left school to support their families. Every day his father made ​​him take extra carpentry. The wooden furniture in the house and especially the mother's old loom, everyone is corrupt what Sakichi Toyoda to fix manually.
The main time to repair a shuttle or a wooden handle is broken at that Sakichi Toyoda has the opportunity to learn weaving. Sakichi Toyoda increasingly found many interesting things about the principles of weaving machines. Damage the mother's loom, Sakichi Toyoda also manually close the other new mothers.
Sakichi Toyoda and became the youngest professional carpenter played the wooden loom from without noticing.
Inventing new loom
The last years of the 19th century was a period of economic boom in Japan under the leadership of Emperor Meiji. Open economic policies have helped the industry grow.Not only technical and scientific technology from Western Europe, the United States are free to export to Japan, but also all other goods as well.
Wave of industrialization with the introduction of many plants, large factories has led to many poor villages more difficult, especially as rural villages of Sakichi Toyoda.Many people who have left by traditional weaving products made ​​uncompetitive with imports. Sakichi Toyoda this very depressing sight.
Looking at her weaving cloth period very hard on the old primitive looms, Sakichi Toyoda idea suddenly occurred to improve the weaving machine run faster, better.Since then, Sakichi Toyoda almost no furniture in his home, only to close research a new loom for the mother.
Sakichi Toyoda's father was disappointed that his son is very handy but want to turn horizontally, not as published. According to him, Sakichi Toyoda to continue the traditional craft of the family, though not rich, but must also meet. Even the original is considered the father of her son's crazy, is unusual every day while in the warehouse into a pile of saws cutting saw this the other to cater to a wooden loom.
However, no resistance was Sakichi Toyoda. Only a skilled carpenter, not knowing much about the technical machinery, but Sakichi Toyoda still tinkering persistence test. Failures do not discourage Sakichi Toyoda.
Until one day in 1890, Sakichi Toyoda demonstrated a weaving machine invented by them first. Most of the details are wooden loom. Both villages have been poured out to see the loom of Sakichi Toyoda made. With this self-weaving machine, textile objects and people scurry around the weaving speed increased many times over.
Sakichi Toyoda had four employees suffering heart how to get their day was the first textile factory in Japan. He said the main motivation is the mother too hard inside the primitive looms. Sakichi Toyoda was told later that one motivation was equally important to promote his creativity is our national pride.
Sakichi Toyoda live period, a wave of industrialization, mechanization in Western Europe, the U.S. is very strong. But once projected an exhibition in Japan, Sakichi Toyoda happened very accurate review is not seen what a machine invented by the Japanese on display.
Although not much education, but in the Sakichi Toyoda appeared not to accept the idea that reality and burning Japanese consciousness will also invented many things.And the first weaving machine devised by Sakichi Toyoda has proven that.
The owner specializes in manufacturing textile machinery
Not only is human creativity, invention, Sakichi Toyoda also had these qualities in their specific business. In 1891, he was licensed to his loom. And since then, become the boss Sakichi Toyoda specializes in manufacturing textile machinery for sale.
Not just selling them to the village, eventually selling Sakichi Toyoda looms for the more remote parts. Every time they produced a few Sakichi Toyoda brought back to Tokyo or other centers for sale. In humans Sakichi Toyoda has always had a desire for creativity. On the other hand, the development of technology and demands of the market has increasingly pressured to have Sakichi Toyoda textile machinery new, more modern.
In 1897, after many experiments and research, Sakichi Toyoda again surprises with textiles products machine dynamics. For the first time in Japan at that time was found to be the weaving machine, basically still wooden, but run by steam power.With this dynamic textile machinery, textile production increased many times by a worker can stand more control loom at a time.
Factories of Sakichi Toyoda Toyoda looms were formally a factory. Besides building a textile machinery manufacturer based in Nagoya again. Here, he also put research center developing textile machinery. The success was very positive with textile machinery dynamics were even more likely to work stimulation and continuous creativity of Sakichi Toyoda.
The world now appears more modern textile machines, particularly from Europe. So Sakichi Toyoda has improved constantly improve its textile machinery so that better, faster.
Sakichi Toyoda Especially as more and more aware of competition issues. The cost of Sakichi Toyoda loom is utmost attention so that reasonable, highly competitive.Philosophy of good, but still a reasonable price to attract large numbers of customers that form the human from the moment Sakichi Toyoda.
This is the business philosophy and secret of success of most manufacturers in Japan to date. The growth of the company beat Toyoda textile machinery from abroad who can not compete on price. A Toyoda Textile Machinery same kind of cost only one-third, one fourth of weaving machines imported from Europe.
Realizing his advantage, Sakichi Toyoda had the idea of exporting textile machines and even opened factories in foreign countries. At first he got the idea immediately set up factories in the U.S. or Europe is the market for most textile machinery at that time. But later, Sakichi Toyoda was promptly found that labor costs are higher there than Japan, so the product will be high and will lose Toyoda loom important advantage in price.
Sakichi Toyoda decided to set up factories in China, where labor is available and cheap. Shanghai has become the first foreign-based boss of Sakichi Toyoda, who had very successful and ambitious new.
Appears idea carmakers
To compensate for the deficiencies of his occupancy of the basic techniques, Sakichi Toyoda has been regularly survey the market research in Europe and America.Sakichi Toyoda's not something well thought out first but he knows to learn and improve it more complete, better. Related to textile machinery, Sakichi Toyoda has over 100 patents invented recognized.
In one to America to find out information for automatic loom projects that he is studying, such as accident, Sakichi Toyoda notice appeared in the U.S. car lot that Japan has not already. Then when the state information to enter a Japanese car at the Ford 800 is again self-loving peoples of Sakichi Toyoda resurfaced.
Could it be the Japanese car is not produced? Sakichi Toyoda now has over 60 years old and this exchange with his son Kichiro Toyoda, who will continue to steer the company replaced Mr. Toyoda. And so the idea was to produce cars in pursuit of Sakichi Toyoda father since.
Sakichi Toyoda has agreed to spend a lot of money to give her son up a research center for automotive research center next to the weaving machines operating by him.Learning from youth to dig around the invention of textile machines first, Sakichi Toyoda has advised his son to the U.S. and Europe have to learn and grasp the automobile manufacturing technology. Point of Sakichi Toyoda automobile to know how they do and I will find ways to do better.
Do not betray his father, Kichiro Toyoda has sought to learn automotive technology.Dozens of automobile engines are father and Kichiro Sakichi Toyoda Toyoda purchased learn to dissect every detail.
With a determination and diligence rarely brought true quality characteristics of the Japanese, father and son just to maintain production Toyoda Textile Machinery has quietly preparing for automobile production line in Japan first. Starting in 1930, one by the production line tires, chassis and engine Toyoda family car was perfect.
In 1934, Kichiro Toyoda, who had replaced his father run the company Toyoda has announced the first car, opened the way for the glorious era of Toyota later.
