Bloomberg with an interesting piece, not just on the Toyota issue
- Toyota citing supply chain disruption as a reason to shut down the factory
- plant only has four hours of parts on hand
- constantly restocks, with an average of 50 trucks carrying components into the U.K. from the EU each day
The firm uses just-in-time supply, and if anyone knows the first thing about manufacturing they'll know this is not unusual in any way. Toyota joining the long list of firms warning about the costs of a hard Brexit. A hard Brexit will be very, very ugly indeed.
I guess Toyota are braced for social media attack from the politically motivated like other firms have been.
