Toyota Yaris
The Toyota Yaris is a car that forces you to be honest with yourself. It's no luxury car and it's no boy racer. It's just a simple sub-compact.
Toyota Production System
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Toyota Production System (TPS) refers to an integrated socio-technical system, developed by Toyota, that comprises its management philosophy and practices.
The TPS organizes manufacturing and logistics for the automobile manufacturer, including interaction with suppliers and customers.
The system is a major precursor of the more generic "Lean manufacturing." Taiichi Ohno, Shigeo Shingo and Eiji Toyoda developed the system between 1948 and 1975.
Originally called "Just In Time Production," it builds on the approach created by the founder of Toyota, Sakichi Toyoda, his son Kiichiro Toyoda, and the engineer Taiichi Ohno. The founders of Toyota drew heavily on the work of W. Edwards Deming and the writings of Henry Ford.
When these men came to the United States to observe the assembly line and mass production that had made Ford rich, they were unimpressed.
While shopping in a supermarket they observed the simple idea of an automatic drink resupplier; when the customer wants a drink, he takes one, and another replaces it. The principles underlying the TPS are embodied in The Toyota Way.
The main objectives of the TPS are to design out overburden (muri) and inconsistency (mura), and to eliminate waste (muda). The most significant effects on process value delivery are achieved by designing a process capable of delivering the required results smoothly; by designing out 'mura'.
It is also crucial to ensure that the process is as flexible as necessary without stress or 'muri' since this generates 'muda'.
Finally the tactical improvements of waste reduction or the elimination of 'muda' are very valuable. There are seven kinds of muda that are addressed in the TPS:
1. over-production
2. motion (of operator or machine)
3. waiting (of operator or machine)
4. conveyance
5. processing itself
6. inventory (raw material)
7. correction (rework and scrap)
The elimination of 'muda' has come to dominate the thinking of many when they look at the effects of the TPS because it is the most familiar of the three to implement. In the TPS many initiatives are triggered by 'Mura' or 'Muri' reduction which drives out 'Muda' without specific focus on its reduction.

AUDI R8 - The Slowest Car Audi Ever Built
Audi’s first supercar is a masterpiece – stunning to look at, wonderful to own.
For : Unmatched blend of comfort and handling, superb V8 engine, grabs attention like no other
Against : Width and height hit practicality, mean standard kit, not quite the involvement of a Porsche 911
If you think the R8 looks special, wait until you fire the engine.
The normally-aspirated 4.2-litre V8 (proudly displayed under a glass engine cover, just like a Ferrari) roars into life, and once on the move delivers impressive performance from 2,000rpm.
At the far end of the rev counter, a red line of 8,250rpm means astonishing acceleration, accompanied by an addictive bellow. It’s a proper performance engine. But be very careful with gearbox choice; the R Tronic paddleshift system is OK, but it distances you from the drive.
The same can’t be said for the superb six-speed manual, while the brakes are progressive, strong and reassuring. That’s true of the handling, too. It’s an enormously capable and user-friendly machine, with scarcely believable amounts of grip.
None of its rivals could keep pace on twisting roads during our tests.
