had to suspend production at all 14 factories in . This is about one-third of the production capacity of the Japanese concern. On Wednesday, the company began to resume production, he explains.
Japan. Toyota stopped production at all factories
Toyota briefly said that the system that processes orders for car parts has failed. However, it is not known what caused such a serious fault that forced the suspension of all factories in Japan. These plants produce all car models. The company only assured that the system was not a victim of a cyberattack. Details remain unknown and an investigation is underway.
Last February, Toyota also had to shut down all of its factories in Japan for a day when Kojima Industries, a supplier of plastic parts and electronic components, reported that one of its file servers had been infected with a virus. The attack has raised concerns about the cybersecurity of Japan’s supply chain.
Failure can cost Toyota dearly
The agency estimates that yesterday’s failure may cause even greater financial losses than last year’s closure of production plants. According to her estimates, the company could lose USD 356 million in revenue in one day. Toyota’s domestic production increased by 29% in the first half of 2023, the first such increase in two years.
