Forbes has published an interesting analysis of Toyota’s – frankly mislabelled – “quake-proof supply chain”. The article doesn’t mention which, if any supply chain companies helped Toyota put together its risk mitigation strategy, but the result was “could do better”’.

Fast-forward to this month, and 26 of its 30 production lines were suspended, affecting 80,000 units. Only five have since been reopened. Operating profit is expected to be down by $277m. A worthwhile read – and not too long.
