Retooling For Toyota Tacoma Production

  • Category: Retooling
  • Client: Toyota Motor Manufacturing, TX

Project Summary

As demand for the Toyota Tacoma increased, Toyota needed to increase production. It was decided to retool the existing Tundra plant in Texas to allow manufacturing of both Tundras and Tacomas in the same line. All work needed to be accomplished without interruption to existing production. We are honored that Toyota chose LG Fox to provide the project management and labor to complete this project.

Making Every Minute Count

To complete this project while maintaining full production ability of the existing Tundra line, LG Fox and our sub-contractors worked on 25 consecutive weekends, and through two shutdowns. To reduce response time on fabrication, we brought a mobile engineering and machine shop on site. This allowed for immediate modifications, on-site checks, and confirmations.

We efficiently managed an average of 52 on-site contractors each day. The project was successfully completed with the installation of 54 new equipment/layout points, and modification of 62 equipment/layout points.

Overall, LG Fox is one of the best contractors on-site for construction, AVI, conveyor and process equipment install projects.
