Ensuring uptime and precision through calibration
At Toyota Material Handling Manufacturing Sweden, precision is essential to maintaining continuous production and consistent product quality. By partnering with Element Metech for accredited calibration services and digital instrument management, Toyota ensures full traceability, audit readiness, and minimal disruption in a Just-in-Time production environment.
Background and challenge
Toyota Material Handling Manufacturing Sweden (TMHMS) is part of Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO) – the global leader in material handling equipment, with operations in more than 30 countries and over 40,000 employees worldwide. At the Mjölby factory, Toyota designs and manufactures forklifts and advanced material handling solutions that set the global standard for quality, reliability, and efficiency.
Driven by the Toyota Production System (TPS) and its Just-in-Time principle, every process depends on precision even the smallest deviation can impact production flow and delivery reliability. To maintain consistent product quality and safety, Toyota Material Handling relies on thousands of measuring instruments – including torque wrenches, calipers, pressure gauges, and multimeters. Although the company has a dedicated internal calibration team, the scale of production and diversity of equipment require additional external expertise to prevent downtime. Ensuring that every instrument is calibrated, traceable, and compliant with quality standards – without disrupting production – demands a seamless and flexible process.
