	CNN.com - Toyota posts surprise profit jump - Nov. 5, 2003
		Toyota does not provide profit projections on a group basis, but it jacked up parent-only profit and sales forecasts for the full year despite an expected blow from a weaker dollar in the latter half.
		Toyota is by far the most profitable car maker in the world and it continues to expand sales in all main markets -- the United States, Japan, Europe and Asia -- with a fast-growing model lineup and a reputation for building top-quality vehicles.
		Toyota now expects the dollar to average 112 yen this year instead of the 115 yen it assumed before -- presenting a hefty blow considering that every one-yen fall in the currency is estimated to shave 20 to 25 billion yen from its operating profit.

		The collaborative response of Toyota's suppliers to a devastating crisis holds lessons for businesses adopting the Japanese model of long-term supplier partnerships and for businesses moving away from that model.
		Because Toyota and Aisin operated in a just-in-time environment, only a small supply of stock was on hand, and a costly shutdown of Toyota-group plants seemed unavoidable.
		Several practices within the Toyota group, including knowledge sharing and regular transfers of employees among group firms, support efforts to develop these capabilities.

		For mountain climbing purposes a Toyota factory built driver-controlled rear-locking differential and a dash-mounted center-locking differential button were added, much better than wading out into the mud to lock the wheel hubs by hand - as I remember not my favorite job.
