Interior ComponentsToyota Boshoku takes a comprehensive approach in developing the entire concept of interior spaces, from the development stage to design, procurement and production, as an interior system supplier for automobile manufacturers. In our pursuit to achieve comfortable, safe and attractive interiors, we provide integrated and effectively coordi-nated interior space systems comprised of seats, door trims, headlin-ers, floor carpets and other components.
Textiles and Exterior ComponentsIn the textile business, one of our original businesses, Toyota Boshoku develops materials such as seat fabrics, fabrics for airbags and cabin headliner materials while undertaking concerted efforts that give full consideration to creating environ-mentally friendly products.
Also, in the exterior components business, we manufacture bumpers, fender liners and engine undercovers.
Filtration and Powertrain Components Using world-leading filtration technology, Toyota Boshoku produces air induction system products, lubricating system products for engines such as oil filters with replaceable elements, vehicle air conditioning filtration system products, fuel cell parts, and other products. Toyota Boshoku is working to develop and manufacture even higher added-value products that match the needs of society, including products that deliver enhanced performance and lower costs as well as modularised, systemised and environmentally friendly responsive products with improved comfort.
CORPOR ATE PROFILE
For us, ideal manufacturing reflects a commitment to produce products of the highest quality that meet customers’ expectations and enrich their mobility life.
We aim to carry on the spirit of our founder Sakichi Toyoda who strongly believed in the thorough, repeated testing of products and only sent products to market that had been perfected. He believed that “A product should never be sold unless it has been tested thoroughly and satisfactorily.” With this in mind, we always focus on realising advanced, high-quality manufacturing.
Manufacturing
Fully leveraging manufacturing
Carrying on the spirit of our founder and focusing on quality
Creating innovative technologies that distinguish us from our competitors
Aiming to create optimal production lines through kaizen (continuous improvement)
Enhancing manufacturing capabilities by transferring skills
Toyota Boshoku’s origins date back to when Sakichi Toyoda, the first person in Japan to invent the automatic loom, established a cotton-spinning factory to fully develop the features and performance of the loom and produce top-quality thread. Sakichi, who always sought to develop technologies that were at the vanguard of the times and succeeded in creating a number of inventions, had a strong conviction in the thorough, repeated testing of products, and that only perfected products should be sent to market. He believed that “A product should never be sold unless it has been tested thoroughly and satisfac-torily.” We carry on that spirit as we work to comprehensively enhance quality levels.
As a global manufacturer, we work to integrate developmen-tal technology, production technology and production processes in our manufacturing system, which includes creating technical drawings that incorporate quality factors from the design stage in addition to improving quality at the manufacturing stage.
Besides meeting the demands of automakers and complying with the laws of different countries and regions, we conduct manufacturing that places an emphasis on quality based on our own regulations and standards.
In order to efficiently make value-added products, we work to develop unique core production technologies and enhance our technological capabilities by making constant improvements.
For instance, in the precision press field, we significantly enhanced quality and accuracy as well as production efficiency for round recliners for seats (a precision part comprised of a reclining structure that alters the seat angle) through the development of the Fine Hold Stamping (FHS) method, an advanced technology that even speciality manufacturers cannot emulate. In addition, we have achieved higher added value and efficiency in the production of elements for cabin air filters that cleanse the air of particles by employing the melt-blow method.
By further developing new core technologies and making production equipment even more compact, we aim to further improve production technologies. Further, we will create inno-vative technologies that distinguish us from the competition by integrating core technologies that have been developed and matured in such fields as seats, interior components, filters, powertrain components and textiles and by actively pursuing the expansion of technological domains.
Toyota Boshoku continuously works to create highly efficient production lines by undertaking kaizen activities on a daily basis. Rather than relying on our achievements to date, we repeatedly say that even the latest production line is not the best it can be and constantly undertake efforts to improve productivity.
Our aim is to create simple production lines with minimal processes that require fewer man-hours and are streamlined. These lines only produce what is needed, when it is needed and in the quantity needed according to the Just-In-Time concept. We strive to create production lines that are compact, waste-free and highly productive. Through constant improvements, our ultimate goal is to create optimal, all-purpose lines that can produce a range of products on a single line.
Going forward, we seek to create a global production system that meets customers’ needs anywhere in the world by intro-ducing the initiatives implemented in Japan to other regions.
In order to carry out leading-edge, high-quality manufacturing on a global basis, we share the Toyota Boshoku manufacturing spirit with its focus on quality, as well as advanced skills devel-oped in Japan, with our group companies around the world.
We introduce training methods so that people who come from different cultures and speak other languages can master our manufacturing customs and develop skills they can use as leaders. For instance, members in group companies that re-ceived education and training in Japan help nurture younger local personnel in respective regions.
We aim to spread both Japanese and Toyota Boshoku manu-facturing around the world as a means to strengthen our global manufacturing competitiveness.

Helping to raise skills to enhance workplace competencies
In teaching specialised skills, we established the Toyota Boshoku Technical Skills Training Centre to develop human resources who can enhance workplace competencies around the world. Company members from all corners of the globe gather here to learn fundamental manufacturing skills before communicating what they have learned to their respective regions, thereby raising skills worldwide. In the skills training and recognition system, depending on such factors as their years of experience, members start from the basics to learning skills at the applica-tion level via genchi-genbutsu, with the aim of systematically gaining knowledge and skills required at the workplace. The training is used to increase capabilities at three levels, specifi-cally in terms of common knowledge, specialised knowledge and practical skills.
Meanwhile, the All TB Skills Competition is held every year for company members from different parts of the world to compete against each other.

In order to provide opportunities for growth to all company members working in the Toyota Boshoku group, we are expanding and enhancing various human resources development programmes.
We are always committed to nurturing global human resources to ensure swift response to changes in automobile-related environments and the expansion of global business.
Human Resources Development
Nurturing personnel capable of taking an active role globally
Developing global human resources by sharing the TB Way
Developing diverse human resources through education and training programmes
In addition to developing personnel who play an active role globally, we are promoting the development of regional mem-bers based in respective regions by strengthening the education and training of locally recruited personnel.
A common element of human resources development is understanding and practicing the TB Way. This involves sharing the values and behaviour espoused by the TB Way and making sure the fundamental philosophy underpinning the TB Way of “contributing to society by developing leading-edge technolo-gies and manufacturing high-quality products” is fully under-stood. We also aim to increase company members’ overall capabilities from two perspectives. First, from an individual standpoint, we encourage personnel to trust in and exercise their ability to think independently. Second, from a team perspective, we pursue mutual growth for both the Company and members based on mutual trust and accountability.
Global Trainee System
A wide variety of personnel learn together and grow together.
Designed to heighten global awareness and language skills, this system provides employees with opportunities to work in foreign countries through short-term (one- to two-year) person-nel transfers among companies within the Toyota Boshoku group. The program enhances capabilities in development, production engineering, production control, quality assurance, and other human resource functions, strengthens communica-tions skills to be active internationally, and develops personnel ready to act as the leaders of tomorrow.
Master Trainer ProgrammeThis programme aims to cultivate trainers who can teach problem solving, on-the-job training (OJT) and policy manage-ment based on the TB Way. They are held at regular intervals in Japan to develop trainers who will be active in their regions of the world.
CORPOR ATE PROFILE
The Toyota Boshoku group has created an education and training system in each region aimed at increasing skills from various perspectives. This system can be broadly divided into three areas: (1) “Training by job classification,” which is applicable to everyone from new recruits to division directors; (2) “Profes-sional training,” which is mainly for functional divisions related to such areas as technology, quality and finance; and (3) “Self-development,” which includes English conversation lessons and correspondence courses, among others.
Moreover, at Toyota Boshoku Technical Skills Academy in Japan, which aims to foster young leaders for the workplace, personnel learn the fundamentals of machine systems and electrical systems through basic practical training on material mechanics and circuit diagram production. At the same time, we develop human resources who have a global outlook and a profound awareness of the need for cooperation and camara-derie as well as a good balance between mind, body and spirit. We achieve this through teaching business etiquette, global education and living in dorms during the programme.

Promoting corporate growth while fulfilling our responsibilities as a good corporate citizen
In order to earn and maintain the trust of society as a good corporate citizen, we strive to further permeate compliance. We are seeking to put into practice our corporate philosophy of “promoting corporate growth while fulfilling our responsibili-ties as a good corporate citizen” by increasing each company member’s awareness of compliance based on the Toyota Boshoku group code of conduct and by providing guidance to ensure members use appropriate judgment and act responsibly.
12
We promote corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a global company aiming to realise corporate growth in harmony with society as a good corporate citizen while contributing to society through manufacturing. In order to meet the expectations and trust of all stakeholders, we comply with laws, regulations and ethics and seek to ensure highly sound, transparent and efficient management.

Global efforts regarding environmental issues
The Toyota Boshoku group holds events that enable company members to interact with each other. Besides the Global Ekiden (relay road race) for group companies worldwide, a regatta and summer festivals are held in Japan.
Local residents in addition to Toyota Boshoku group members and their families participate in these events, which play an important role in creating a bridge between the Company and local communities. We also strive to instil a sense of unity in each workplace and deepen exchange between business entities to create a dynamic and motivating environment for Toyota Boshoku members.
We promote environmental protection in all areas of our business activities and work to resolve environmental issues globally as a unified group. By reducing environmental loads through eco-friendly development, design and production, we pursue the potential of our environmental technologies. We do this by making automobile interior components lighter to enhance fuel efficiency and by employing plant-derived materi-als to reduce CO2. We create products that are both comfort-able and ecologically responsible by maximising the potential of our environmental technologies in order to contribute to the realisation of a sustainable society.
Additionally, we are promoting sustainable factory activities over the medium to long term that aim to use nature to create factories in harmony with the natural environment. This involves working to reduce CO2 via the three key themes of “Eco-innovation,” “Eco-energy” and “Eco-communication.”

Bringing smiles to more faces through regional social contribution activities
Toyota Boshoku promotes social contribution activities focused on the environment, nurturing youth and education in each of the regions where we operate, namely The Americas, Asia & Oceania, China, Europe & Africa, and Japan.
We aim to bring more smiles to faces the world over by actively promoting welfare and activities with local citizens that are suited to the needs of respective regions.
Thorough reinforcement of risk management
The Toyota Boshoku group has created an effective manage-ment system in order to respond swiftly to management risk, risk in daily operations and other risks such as disasters and accidents. We also endeavour to predict and prevent damage and minimise the impact should a crisis occur.
In addition, we set up the Large-Scale Disaster Countermea-sure Committee and Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) and further strengthened collaboration between the functions of the Global Mainstay Hub and Regional Management & Col-laboration Hubs (RM&CH), which has served to reinforce the crisis management system of the entire group.
