Toyota recognized Ryder for the number of transformational Kaizen initiatives, a Japanese term for continuous improvement, that Ryder proactively pursued on Toyota’s behalf. Among them were increased yard-cost savings, operational enhancements to improve customs compliance, and best practices for process improvement and problem-solving – all of which significantly impacted supply chain capability, efficiency, and cost savings.

“We’ve been working with Toyota for 36 years as one team focused on continuous improvement to drive efficiencies in the supply chain while keeping service levels high,” says Steve Sensing, president of supply chain solutions for Ryder. “This recognition is a testament to the relationship that our teams have built over nearly four decades, and we look forward to many more.”

Over the years, Ryder has won multiple awards for meeting Toyota’s highest standards for innovation, quality, delivery, performance, cost savings, value improvement for parts and materials, performance in distribution and warehousing, strategic management, quality engineering and safety leadership, diversity, and minority sourcing program development.

Ryder supports Toyota manufacturing locations across North America with over-the-road transportation in the United States and cross-border transportation between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada; border-crossing administration; free trade zone consolidation; cross docks in Mexico; plant yard management and shunting; and in-plant third-party logistics and engineering support.

For more than 55 years, Ryder has served the automotive industry, implementing the first large-scale just-in-time supply delivery system in North America.
