One week has passed since the earthquake that registered a maximum seismic intensity of 7 in Kumamoto Prefecture, and Toyota Motor is racing to restore its production system. Aisin Kyushu, a subsidiary of Aisin, was damaged in the disaster, and the resulting parts supply disruption has led to the suspension of operations at three plants in Fukuoka Prefecture operated by Toyota Motor Kyushu, as well as the Tahara plant in Tahara City, Aichi Prefecture. Toyota is mobilizing group-wide support for a swift recovery, but the timeline for a full restoration remains unclear, and the impact on earnings is uncertain.
