According to reports, it has been more than a week since the major earthquake occurred in southwestern Japan, with Kumamoto Prefecture as its epicenter. Disaster assessment and repair work is underway, and local factories are gradually resuming production. However, there are still some factories that have been severely damaged, and the time to resume work has not been determined; there are also some factories that have stopped production due to concerns about the stable supply of parts. At the earnings conference on Tuesday, TakanoriAzuma, head of the Toyota Motor Accounting Group, said, “Put human life first, followed by regional reconstruction, and finally the restoration and restart of production. We will strictly follow this priority and carefully make decisions related to production and operation.” On the morning of July 29, the day after the earthquake occurred, Toyota's three factories in Fukuoka prefecture temporarily resumed work, but production was stopped again that night, and the planned shutdown will continue until Wednesday. Toyota's Aichi plant has been shut down since Monday and is expected to continue until Friday, partly due to production line plans to commence construction work.
