Research and Development (R&D)


In keeping with its founding spirit of Be ahead of the times through endless creativity, inquisitiveness, and pursuit of improvement, Toyota Industries actively carries out research and development activities. Our R&D activities can be broadly classified into two areas, (1) product development and improvements performed independently within each business division, and (2) R&D undertaken mainly by the Research & Development Center separate from the activities of our business divisions and with a view toward company-wide management strategy.

1. R&D Activities Carried Out by the Business Divisions In each of our internal divisions various initiatives, centered on the technical departments, are being taken to promote the advanced development of future products that will lead the world in functionality, quality, and low cost. The results of these R&D activities are unveiled at an internal technology exhibition in each division and also at a company-wide technology exhibition held every year where the engineers from all divisions gather. In this way we strive to give our engineers access to a wide range of exchange opportunities.

For example, there are a multitude of research and development results and prototypes such as a wide variety of functional parts for use in fuel cells, non-contact power supply technologies for use in clean logistics, super smooth coatings for inside car air-conditioning compressors, and three dimensional fabric reinforced composite technologies. From this point forward research and development will continue into new technology themes for every field including automobiles, materials handling equipment, and electronics.

External directors attend meetings of the Board of Directors, in which they give opinions and ask questions as deemed necessary to ensure legality and validity of the Board's decisions as well as directors' execution of duties. Additionally, we have adopted the Managing Officers System, which enables managing officers to focus solely on the execution of business operations and speed up decision making.In June 2010, we added two directors and three managing officers to further strengthen our management structure directed toward future business expansion. The Management Committee, which is composed of directors above the executive vice president level as well as relevant directors, managing officers and corporate auditors, deliberates on a variety of issues concerning important management matters such as corporate vision, management policies, medium-term business strategies and major investments. Toyota Industries has a divisional organization system, with significant authority delegated to each business division. For especially crucial matters, however, we have established the Business of the operations of each business.

Under the Emergency Profit Improvement Committee, we have set up 16 different subcommittees, such as the General Expenses Subcommittee, and are actively working on profit improvement activities throughout the Company. We will standardize cost reduction activities in each department, while strengthening planning and execution of measures to increase sales.

Corporate Auditor System


Toyota Industries has adopted a corporate auditor/board of corporate auditors system. Two standing corporate auditors and three external corporate auditors attend meetings of the Board of Directors to monitor the execution of duties by directors. At the same time, Meetings of the Board of Corporate Auditors are held once a month to discuss and make decisions on such important matters as auditing policy. The standing corporate auditors carry out auditing by attending primary meetings and receiving reports directly from directors. Additionally, we have assigned a staff of dedicated personnel who monitor the legality, soundness and efficiency of management through collaboration with independent auditors and the Audit Department. Toyota Industries has striven to maintain the fairness of management.
