During the 1970s, Japanese firms like Toyota optimized their factories to remove as much unnecessary work as possible. This ensured that they could accurately assemble their products in as little time as possible. For example, they would arrange workspaces in the most optimal configuration to reduce the time that workers spent twisting and turning. As a result, Japanese products were assembled faster and more reliably than their American counterparts.
