TOYOTA-NEW GLOBAL ARCHITECTURE Toyota, the just-in-time pioneer, is transforming the way it designs and manufac- tures vehicles. The Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) streamlines the pro- cess by standardizing the size and position of key components with new standard vehicle platforms. In an ongoing effort to lower cost while improving performance. the cars' platforms are designed with a low vehicle center of gravity, a quality that is key to more precise and responsive handling without hurting comfort and ride TNGA uses special design rules for the position of such items as pedals, the steer ing column, and the driver's seat for each of the five vehicle platforms that are manu- factured. Previously, each new model was designed from scratch, but the new process essentially automates this process. The new process simplifies vehicle design and manufacturing without limiting styling innovations that give each vehicle its appeal and character The impact of TNGA is on components that are largely not visible. TNGA allows Toyota to build new factories that are smaller and more flexible, to accommodate new models. The sharing of many components among different vehicles will greatly reduce the number of parts that need to be designed, manufactured, and supplied. Toyota, the innovative pioneer that started the "lean movement in manufacturing, continues to be a global leader for the future
