This article talks about how Toyota is finally starting to feel the aftermath of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. Toyota send out a letter to all of its dealerships saying that there will be a shortage of vehicles that will be supplied over the summer. Toyota will be regulating the vehicles' models, colors and inventory parts that it will be making. It will try to produce the most wanted model and color in order to squash the shortage as much as possible. I think what Toyota is doing is a good idea and it might actually help them limit the amount of losses they will have. It is definitely worth the try. I am interested what other companies are thinking about doing and if they will follow in Toyota's steps or come up with their own plan of dealing with the supply problem.
