Fantastic video. It has all the ingredients to be an effective teaching tool: feelings, simplicity, good techniques, creativity, teamwork, description of the process, the improvements applied and the results obtained, the necessary, appropriate and balanced resources.
"The summation of many many small, simple, cheap improvements can have a very big impact". I love the lack of pretension and management-speak in that phrase.
A GREAT example of how the #Toyota PS can be applied to anything! Absolutely LOVE this clip and the goodness #Kaizen has done for this Food Bank! #continuousimprovement Thank you for posting this!
If you disliked this video you do not belong to live in this world. This is a beautiful thing Toyota is doing, everyone can spend a little over 6 minutes to help families in need and please keep the negative comments for Facebook.
In my company (Japanese shipyard), all the employees have to submit 1 kaizen/month. However, there is a new about 100 million yen cost reduction effect by kaizen every year.
I'm seeing a lot of self-proclaimed geniuses here thinking that using this systems approach is easy. This is delivering meals from a truck, try applying the Toyota system to health care and get back to me smarties.
I here you, but the NHS here in the UK seems to have lots of small inefficiencies that seem to add up to massive costs. (It's also underfunded and Bliar saddled it with ludicrous PFI deals but that's a different story). The Primary Care practices in my home town use audio typists (!!!!) to type letters referring patients to hospital specialists because obviously typing it into an online system is a weird ninja skill that Doctors can't possibly do. The patient then gets a letter offering them a choice of which hospital they want to use. This would be admirable but for the fact that our town only has one hospital so all the other options are miles away! Some hospitals pay way more for the same supplies than others. Doctors prescribe drugs that are no longer considered necessary etc. I received a letter this February telling me an appointment in January had been cancelled. I'd already attended the rescheduled appointment. A 2014 report by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges estimated potential savings of £2 billion. Many of the changes are way more complex than the examples in this video so I'm not entirely disagreeing with you but given how the current crisis is about to overwhelm our ICU capacity it should be top of the agenda.
You sir/mam are quite correct in your thinking. Especially since Toyota isn't really promoting any or their products. This video was explaining the production of these food boxes and what they could do to help them. Their help was greatly needed and appreciated. What they did was morally and structurally correct, without having anything to do with promoting the Toyota products and helping the people because they cared, and also possibly to get recognition for their company.
I'm extremely impressed and humbled at the same time how awesome this is for the Food Distribution place and Toyota for stepping in to help with their expertise... KUDOS to all!
I was first introduced to Kaizen processes in the 1980's and have been a practioner ever since. Thanks You Toyota for bringing the application to such a worthy cause. #GoRockAway!
God Bless You George. Your not a celebrity doing this to get likes but a "normal" person doing this out of the kindness of your heart. Shows that you do not need to be rich to contribute. We need more people like you George. God Bless U.
Wow, where is the humanity in all of you? I applaud these efforts to bring food to people who need it! Appreciate that you're not in a major disaster, because you can quickly be on the receiving end. People who have heart make a huge difference in the world. :)
I really appreciate all this, I just hope it isn't abused. I can't stand how people think it's okay to have nice, expensive things but can still bum others for food because they sit on their a**es all day. For the people who really NEED this stuff, God bless them, along with Toyota and all the volunteers over in New York.
This is a wonderful video for a wonderful cause. I loved it and I shared it with my friends. It was also nice to see Rel's cameo appearance - he is my celebrity crush. ;)
This reminds me of operations research, a branch of probability modelling, that calculates the most efficient ways to do things depending on what your goal is. Very cool! Here's to reaching 125,000 meals :)
This is actually a pretty cool video all around, informative and going to a good cause, good on you Toyota and those guys working hard distributing the food!
I think it's GREAT how Toyota is helping out the NYC FOOD BANK!!! They did a WONDERFUL JOB sharing the organizational skills with them to help with efficiency and now to continue to "Pay It Forward" by donating another MILLION MEALS is really GREAT!!! If you need to find fault with that...well then I'm really sorry for you... You are a VERY UNHAPPY PERSON!!!
Great program, Learned about it from Steve here at the LES training facility here in Jackson Michigan. The Lean process is integral for any company that wants to be a world class manufacturing facility.
really proud to work with Toyota to help them spread the word about how they take real-world problems and just figure out how to do it better. very, very cool
I am also viewer number 444,068. They act like the assembly line and the idea of using the correctly sized boxes is a new and innovative idea. The "new" ideas mentioned in this video have been around for many years
I love to see people doing good things for their community. It really warms my heart and to all of those people leaving negative comments about race please tell me why that matters? This man did something that most people wouldnt do. There are sooo many greedy and selfish people in this world and he thought of others which is something that i would love to see more of.Anyways this was a truly great video :)
I am passionate about volunteering myself. I could see how some would view this as, the homeless will continue to be homeless if you hand them free things. I don't believe in that. I believe what you are all doing is an incredible thing, and the world thanks you all.
If each of us pitch in and make a difference in some one's life the world would be a better place for all of us. God bless all the people that volunteer and bring a smile and hope to those in need
I'm not going to be watching this video over and over again. I watched it once but I still want to give it more views. After I watched it the first time I put it on mute in another tab so I can give it more views and, therefore, more meals.
Do you know how expensive one of those boxes are? They're not $5 or even $10. Food is expensive, even in small amounts. What they're doing is an incredible thing, giving hope to people who have lost it. Showing kindness to the people who need it.
Jeez, quite the abrasive humanitarian you are. He's only commenting towards those who might be too impatient to watch it. I have several tabs pulled up, and lots of videos don't sound too great when they're playing at once.
They know it'll get to 1M views. It's only been 3 days and it's almost there. The point was to give themselves some (deserved!) publicity and maybe show off a little of what improvements they made. If anything deserves free advertising it's this.
Thank you Toyota. You are feeding people while at the same time making me realize that if I move my computer and my refrigerator into the bathroom I will be a more efficient gamer.
WOW! efficiency has always been my forte. When I was a lot younger and working in the building trades many thought I was the fastest getting work done, but really I was not all that fast, just efficient and I planned it that way. I even invented special tools to make it go faster. Toyota very good!
Awesome team work! I love their work ethics and their great attitude. When we help others, I believe that same help will be returned to us one day when we need it the most. Hope others will share this great video as well. Thanks to all who gave their time to help less fortunate families, as this was an inspirational message that offers great hope for future events of this nature. Great message and awesome team work. Love you guys for all that you do!
I hope this succeeds in becoming the "most viewed" video on youtube because if it does not, then we have a real problem in society when "gangnam style" ranks above it.
Fantastic video. It has all the ingredients to be an effective teaching tool: feelings, simplicity, good techniques, creativity, teamwork, description of the process, the improvements applied and the results obtained, the necessary, appropriate and balanced resources.
I am watching this for my class, and I have to say... this is extremely heartwarming.
"The summation of many many small, simple, cheap improvements can have a very big impact". I love the lack of pretension and management-speak in that phrase.
I am glad to help our New York family by watching this video, Toyota, I am glad for the help your are giving our New York Family!
A GREAT example of how the #Toyota PS can be applied to anything! Absolutely LOVE this clip and the goodness #Kaizen has done for this Food Bank! #continuousimprovement Thank you for posting this!
Heartwarming to see generous, kind folks helping each other. Kudos to the volunteers, to George, to Toyota.
That's KAIZEN power.

Congratulations to everybody in that group of volunteers. You are all amazing.
Très COOL
On travaille actuellement avec Moisson Montréal.... on va y arriver ensemble!!!
Nothing short of inspired, all around...filmmakers, George, Toyota, everyone. Congratulations, Henry and Rel.
I did not know that 改善(kaizen) is used in America. (from Japan)
This is the definition of Great People. People who strive to help other people in need.
We made it!!!! I am so proud working in Toyota. Thank you everyone for watching.
Thank you Toyota and Stiletto Media for working towards feeding the hungry in NYC!
I'm seeing a lot of self-proclaimed geniuses here thinking that using this systems approach is easy. This is delivering meals from a truck, try applying the Toyota system to health care and get back to me smarties.
Japan had universal healthcare since 1961. Top 10, doesn't spend nearly as much as the United States. Kaizen!

Wut
One small step at a time.

What they did was morally and structurally correct, without having anything to do with promoting the Toyota products and helping the people because they cared, and also possibly to get recognition for their company.
Well I'm actually glad to see that there are still people that have the heart to do this still
I'm extremely impressed and humbled at the same time how awesome this is for the Food Distribution place and Toyota for stepping in to help with their expertise... KUDOS to all!
I always admire people who go out and help others and put a smile on someones face.
I was first introduced to Kaizen processes in the 1980's and have been a practioner ever since. Thanks You Toyota for bringing the application to such a worthy cause. #GoRockAway!
Striving step-by-step to make a process - and their communities - better. Well done all !!
George, Lisa & Jamie are my new heroes, along with Toyota! thanks guys, we love you!!
God Bless You George. Your not a celebrity doing this to get likes but a "normal" person doing this out of the kindness of your heart. Shows that you do not need to be rich to contribute. We need more people like you George. God Bless U.
Wow, that's really cool. That's Kaizen magic
this is FABULOUS! I shared & encouraged others to do the same. Thank you, Toyota!
Well done all!! Glad to share and be a small part in this grand event!!
Wow, where is the humanity in all of you? I applaud these efforts to bring food to people who need it! Appreciate that you're not in a major disaster, because you can quickly be on the receiving end. People who have heart make a huge difference in the world. :)

WHO THE HECK DISLIKED THAT !!??!!??!! How can you freaking dislike that !!? They are helping people !
one of the nicest video that puts my face a smile while watching it :) also so useful about my business lesson. thanks a lot
This reminds me of operations research, a branch of probability modelling, that calculates the most efficient ways to do things depending on what your goal is. Very cool! Here's to reaching 125,000 meals :)
This soooo nice! Keep up the fantastic work! It is appreciated by all of us as well as the people receiving the food and supplies. :)
This is actually a pretty cool video all around, informative and going to a good cause, good on you Toyota and those guys working hard distributing the food!

Great program, Learned about it from Steve here at the LES training facility here in Jackson Michigan. The Lean process is integral for any company that wants to be a world class manufacturing facility.
Good on these people for donating their time and effort.
How wonderful and appreciative for your giving Toyota!!!! Now if I could just afford one of your cars,,,,I could be set for life!
really proud to work with Toyota to help them spread the word about how they take real-world problems and just figure out how to do it better. very, very cool
Have to watch the whole video to count as a view, so some people didn't watch the whole thing, but still liked it.
I've owned three Toyotas and a Lexus. None of them have ever had a problem. Great cars, great company!
Gotta thank the volunteers. I volunteered at food banks and food centers before, it's tough work with no pay.
Thanks for your care and compassion to hurting people
Good video, Fantastic transformation. Power of one peice flow.
this is why Toyota was my friend vehicle i bought, keep up the good work guys
I am also viewer number 444,068. They act like the assembly line and the idea of using the correctly sized boxes is a new and innovative idea. The "new" ideas mentioned in this video have been around for many years
the views are the spread of awareness, instead of looking at the negative on your high horse focus on the positive and the ones down on their luck.
Simply fantastic.heart touching & awesomely encouraging.keep up the good work.
It's great that people are helping each other...
I'd like to see this hit 1 Million and beyond.
Watching this again, and again, and again...
We use TPS in our company. Its made us go from low 10 millions to high 30 and 40 millions. It definitely works!
I love to see people doing good things for their community. It really warms my heart and to all of those people leaving negative comments about race please tell me why that matters? This man did something that most people wouldnt do. There are sooo many greedy and selfish people in this world and he thought of others which is something that i would love to see more of.Anyways this was a truly great video :)
Wow, this video is really amazing. Those who volunteered to help other people, I salute you!
Great video, TPS on action!
This is really fantastic.... sometimes, humans really are good.
This deserves more views than "The Anchorman 2 trailer" and im sure the cast of that movie would agree
This is really fantastic, I want to thank you for doing this.
Taking a six sigma course and watching this video now, makes me understand all of the process way better
What an amazing thing you are doing. You make me proud to be an American!
So great of Toyota to help with production efficiency for worthy causes! Heart warming. :-)
I'm amazed by the amount of people volunteering
I am passionate about volunteering myself. I could see how some would view this as, the homeless will continue to be homeless if you hand them free things. I don't believe in that. I believe what you are all doing is an incredible thing, and the world thanks you all.
Hey Stevo! I see that you watched this video as well. I think it's great what Toyota is doing. Peace & love, Alex
"Doing it for views" raises awareness about the situation, which leads to more support for their cause.
250.000 meals added to the 250,000 they have already given, that's 1/2 million meals, that is huge!! Kudos to Toyota for the kind gesture
KAIZEN 改善の解説に笑ってしまったww
TOYOTAはすごいな、こんな形で誰かの役にたてるなんて幸せなことだと思う。日本の誇りだよ
Worth the watch too... I shall post the link to my Facebook...
If each of us pitch in and make a difference in some one's life the world would be a better place for all of us. God bless all the people that volunteer and bring a smile and hope to those in need
This is awesome and Toyota is awesome for coming in and helping them improve efficiency.
I will watch this video 7 billion times and feed the whole world for one meal.
Private industry meets community service. Right on people, you all rock!
I'm not going to be watching this video over and over again. I watched it once but I still want to give it more views. After I watched it the first time I put it on mute in another tab so I can give it more views and, therefore, more meals.
Wow, I am impressed. I can see how this process could work in many situations. I am wiser because of this video.
"Kaizen: continuous improvement." Love that!
I hope this gets watched very very very often
have had this on repeat at work since i found it
Do you know how expensive one of those boxes are? They're not $5 or even $10. Food is expensive, even in small amounts.
What they're doing is an incredible thing, giving hope to people who have lost it. Showing kindness to the people who need it.
Bravo Toyota and Metro, this give me hope for humanity
beautifull to see how big the improvement was. Im gonna share this
Great impact on the community that Toyota is giving and a great publicity tool for themselves. Everybody wins
Good video smart ppl to and good bless those helping and in need thanks
this is actually a great content. I learn it all in my undergrad.
Thanks for helping out the community i really appreciate the work you guys are doing keep up the good work!!!
Jeez, quite the abrasive humanitarian you are. He's only commenting towards those who might be too impatient to watch it. I have several tabs pulled up, and lots of videos don't sound too great when they're playing at once.
i have no comments for you , you are a great person keep doing this !
They know it'll get to 1M views. It's only been 3 days and it's almost there. The point was to give themselves some (deserved!) publicity and maybe show off a little of what improvements they made. If anything deserves free advertising it's this.
Pretty much a P.R. campaign video, however, I have to give credit where credit is due. TPS is pretty incredible.
Thank you Toyota. You are feeding people while at the same time making me realize that if I move my computer and my refrigerator into the bathroom I will be a more efficient gamer.
WOW! efficiency has always been my forte. When I was a lot younger and working in the building trades many thought I was the fastest getting work done, but really I was not all that fast, just efficient and I planned it that way. I even invented special tools to make it go faster.
Toyota very good!

I hope this succeeds in becoming the "most viewed" video on youtube because if it does not, then we have a real problem in society when "gangnam style" ranks above it.
thats a great idea and i support it. my sister is going to Columbia University and i hope she will volunteer.
Absolutely incredible!
People, share this vid! Make it go viral! It's for a good cause!
If I watch the video over and over, does that count for more meals? You're amazing people, god bless you all.
This is so awesome.
nice work !! hope this video reaches 1 million views :D
