Toyota Pauses All Assembly Operations in Japan

World-leading car manufacturer Toyota has put a sudden stop to its production lines in Japan, citing a technical glitch in its operational system. The disruption has affected all 14 of Toyota’s assembly facilities in Japan, leaving a significant chunk of the company’s global production dormant.

Initially, the company had suspended activities in 12 out of its 14 plants in Japan, but later decided to expand the pause to include all of them. The issue has prevented Toyota from placing orders for essential automotive parts, which has compelled the halt in manufacturing.

Toyota hasn’t released a timeline for when the plants will be back in operation. These plants are responsible for roughly one-third of Toyota’s global car production, indicating a substantial impact.
