How does Toyota achieve 100% quality - especially vehicles made in Japan? It turns out that Toyota has a "secret sauce" called ANDON which prevents defects and errors from being passed onto the next sequence during production. Strangely, every car company knows about ANDON and tries to implement it, but only Toyota (and for the most part, other Japanese automakers) is able to utilize it properly. Automotive Engineer David Chao explains in detail how the ANDON system helps achieve 100% quality. This is an updated version of the previously posted video from the past.
