Embraer is working with Toyota do Brasil to maximize production efficiency. Announcing an agreement this morning, Embraer said it would "embrace" Toyota Product System (TPS) principles and concepts for its industrial operations as it seeks to eliminate waste, lower costs, and improve efficiency. The move comes a month after Embraer spinoff Eve said it has retained Porsche Consulting for recommendations on developing a supply chain for high-volume rates of production.
