I. Profile of the Company


Lexus is the luxury vehicle division of Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corporation. Lexus was launched in 1989 to stir the souls of drivers with the desire to deliver the world's most intelligent, advanced and enjoyable automobiles along with an unsurpassed ownership experience. Since the very beginning, Lexus has embodied a new kind of luxury that overturns conventional thinking in both luxury and performance. The first Lexus culminated half a decade of intense research and development. Like each and every Lexus they make, it was the result of a steadfast refusal to compromise. They call this the pursuit of perfection.

The Pursuit of Perfection


Lexus' tireless environmental efforts have grown out of a genuine respect and concern for the environment. The concerns range from the gathering and transporting of raw materials to the processing and assembly of vehicle parts, and from the processes at our dealer locations to the handling of materials at the end of a vehicle's life. Lexus is now sold globally and has become Japan's largest-selling make of premium cars. The Lexus marquee is marketed in over 70 countries and territories worldwide, and has ranked among the ten largest Japanese global brands in market value. Lexus is headquartered in Nagoya,

Japan. Operational centers are located in Brussels, Belgium, and Torrance, California, United States.

Manufacturing and Distribution Lexus has also made great strides in the development of materials: seat cushions made with foam derived from castor seeds. Speakers manufactured with sustainable bamboo. Carpeting composed of 30% plant-based sources. These are just a few of the innovative processes used in the creation of recent Lexus vehicles. Lexus also offers an innovative seating material called NuLuxe. It weighs half as much as leather, and its manufacturing process generates 65% fewer CO2 emissions than other synthetic leathers and no VOCs. Additionally, every Lexus manufacturing site has achieved Zero Landfill Status, meaning that any waste resulting from manufacture is recycled, repurposed or used to generate additional energy. In-plant water use and scrap material generation have also been cut dramatically at Lexus plants, and improvements in plant energy efficiency help to reduce the greenhouse gases that are a by-product of power generation. All eight plants that build Lexus vehicles are ISO 14001-certified, having received certification to an international standard for environmental management system. Lexus dealers are a part of this effort. The Lexus Environmental Assistance Network equips all dealers with a customized web site that provides up-to-date waste-management information. Dealers return numerous components for precision factory remanufacture and ultimate sale as rebuilt parts.

VI. Fire fighting Safety Policies and Regulations


As the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-New Construction (LEEDNC)-certified Lexus new car dealership in the United States, the new facility at 13700 Manchester Road in Manchester, Mo. is the first Lexus new car dealership facility planned and built from the ground up to adhere to stringent LEED-NC guidelines in design, construction and operation. Were committed to environmental responsibility and we intend to demonstrate the depth of that commitment by our actions with the construction and operation of this new Lexus dealership facility, said Ray Mungenast, president of Dave Mungenast Lexus of St. Louis. Holland has a great team of knowledgeable, accredited LEED professionals who have been very helpful. The spacious 70,000-square-foot, two-story building is nearly twice the size of the dealerships prior location. The facility features a large showroom and service lounge with upscale customer amenities, caf and delivery area. The building also houses a state-of-the-art 32-bay service area with a complimentary car wash and detail area.

Designed With Concern The focus of Lexus design efficiency is to build a vehicle that is exceptionally lean in its use of raw materials, its fuel and its impact on the environmentall the while pushing the boundaries of performance, luxury and quality. The design of lighter-weight vehicles helps conserve natural resources; reduce fuel consumption, emissions and brake wear; and improve handling and braking performance, and results in less scrap for recycling and disposal. Lexus works to reduce weight without weakening the vehicle or sacrificing luxury or safety features through sophisticated computer modeling that allows excess material to be engineered out. Extensive testing validates the strength and durability of each component before it goes into production. Lexus pushes the frontiers of vehicle aerodynamic efficiency using wind-tunnel-tuned, computer-modelled details to reduce aerodynamic drag. Engine and driveline sounds are analyzed and tuned extensively, and airflow is investigated in the wind tunnel and on the road. Lexus innovations ensure that our vehicles deliver maximum power from the minimum amount of fuel, with remarkably low exhaust emissions. As a result of sophisticated engine-

management controls, the RX and CT Hybrid models are among the most fuel efficient on the road and every 2012 Lexus model (LFA excluded) has met Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV II) or the more stringent Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV II) EPA certification standards.

Newest Facility Cambridge, Ontario, is home to the first Lexus manufacturing plant in North America. It produces the RX luxury sport-utility vehicle, the best selling SUV Lexus ever built. The Cambridge facility is unique in its resemblance to a Lexus dealership, rather than to a typical automotive plant. The first RX produced in this facility is on display in the showroom, surrounded by polished wood floors and ceiling-high glassan impressive setting that reminds all employees to take pride in their craftsmanship. No matter where a Lexus is built, one thing remains constant: The idea that every step of the production process should reflect the Pursuit of Perfection. As of today, this Cambridge facility has earned ten J.D. Power and Associates plant-quality awards, including six gold awards.

VI. Finding and Conclusion of the Survey


I found out that they are working to develop human resources by implementing an educational program based on OJT (on the job training), which is crucial for the development and generational transfer of excellent Monozukuri (manufacturing), with the five Toyota Way keywords as a fundamental basis. The Toyota way, which explains values and ways of thinking, can be understood and practiced by employees globally; Lexus have organized and arranged job types and techniques into what we call "Global Contents." These Global Contents are communicated to employees through courses and OJT both in Japan and overseas.

I therefore conclude that Lexus, a division of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. is bringing your Lexus vehicle into a professional detail. Your Lexus says a lot about you. You are not one to settle for anything less than excellence. And ordinary is not in your vocabulary. When it comes to keeping your Lexus looking like new, only the certified Lexus Reflections Appearance Maintenance Program meets your high standards. The participating Lexus dealers are factory trained and certified to meet all your Lexus vehicle detailing needs.
