First the March 11 disasters in Japan, now the floods in Thailand.  Toyota says they can’t get enough parts to build their cars.

Toyota and Honda are suffering major parts supply problems (Honda already cut North American production by 50%).

Toyota is cutting back on worldwide production.  November 7, according to NHK, Toyota will be forced to cut production by at least 30%.

Toyota was trying to recover from the March 11 disasters, and had hoped to produce 330,000 vehicles in Indonesia, for the month of November.  Now they are hoping they can produce 230,000.

Blame it on the incompetent ‘just in time’ parts supply policy.
