Toyota Motor Corporation shortens operating time limit by approximately 30 minutes at domestic finished car plants. The aim is to create surplus capacity at production sites and strengthen human resource development and training.

The company also says that this initiative aims to improve quality, as there have been a number of issues related to fraud in the acquisition of certification at group companies such as Daihatsu Motor and Toyota Industries. Toyota says, ``The number of production cars and projects has been increasing, so we would like to take a pause and solidify our footing.''
