Toyota Motors Quality TasK Force to halt Recalls
Toyota Motor announced the creation of a North American “quality task force” as it struggles to repair its reputation in the wake of a series of mass recalls.
The task force will answer to Toyota chief executive office Akio Toyoda and will be responsible for implementing a six-point action plan aimed at improving quality, cooperation with regulatory authorities and creating greater regional autonomy.
Toyota has come under intense criticism for its handling of deadly safety defects which led to the recall of more than eight million vehicles worldwide.
“We are making fundamental changes in the way our company operates in order to ensure that Toyota sets an even higher standard for vehicle safety and reliability, responsiveness to customers, and transparency with regulators,” said Steve St. Angelo, a top executive at Toyota’s North American manufacturing unit who was appointed chief quality officer for the region.
“The new organization will open the lines of communication globally and enable us to respond faster here in North America to any concerns about our vehicles,” St. Angelo said.
“In keeping with Akio Toyoda’s mandate, North America will have greater autonomy and play a critical role in decision making on recalls and other safety issues.”
St. Angelo will join his counterparts in Japan on March 30 for the first meeting of the automotive manufacturer’s special committee for global quality. The North American task force will also work closely with an independent advisory panel led by former U.S. transportation secretary Rodney Slater.

The advantages of Die Casting Aluminum Boxes over Steel Boxes
The advantages of Die Casting Aluminum Boxes over steel boxes. One should know The advantages of Die Casting Aluminum Boxes over steel. This will enable the person to know what is more suitable to him. So what are its advantages?
First, Aluminum boxes are durable. Steel is also durable but it is heavy when compared to aluminum which is lighter and therefore, easier to transport and work with. When transporting animals and equipment, aluminum boxes are more preferable because they do not add too much weight unlike steel boxes which are heavier. Since steel parts are heavier, their transportation costs are also higher. Since aluminum boxes weigh 1/3 of the steel part weight, they are also cheaper. Second, aluminum boxes can also last for years without compromising the safety of the materials inside it. Unlike steel which may be destroyed by rust as time goes on, aluminum boxes are rust proof so they can carry out their purpose without the problem of rust. Aluminum boxes can also cope with sudden shock or impact, making sure that the electronic components inside the box are still safe. These boxes can also disperse and absorb electromagnetic inductance and radio waves or frequencies so the electronic components are not affected unlike steel boxes which do not have this capacity.

Toyota Unveils Repair Plan After Mass Recall
Toyota’s U.S. arm on Feb. 1 said it would start fixing a technical glitch in its cars this week after recalling millions of vehicles in a public-relations nightmare for the world’s top car maker.
Toyota said the company “developed and rigorously tested” a fix to the problem with accelerator pedals in faulty models and had also come up with “an effective solution” for vehicles currently in production.
“I want to sincerely apologize. I know that the recall has caused many of you concerns and for that I am truly sorry … I know that we let you down,” Jim Lentz, president of Toyota’s U.S. sales arm, told CNBC.
Lentz said the fix could be completed “in a short period of time depending on work force of your dealership. We hope to start these repairs in just a few days. Owners will be notified by mail when to set up a proper appointment.”
Toyota engineers have been putting the finishing touches to a repair to insert a “spacer” in the pedal mechanism, in order to increase the tension in a spring and reduce the risk of the pedal staying down.
Toyota pulled up to 1.8 million vehicles in Europe on Jan. 29, the latest in a series of recalls that has affected almost eight million Toyota cars worldwide — more than its entire 2009 global sales of 7.8 million vehicles.
The company has also temporarily halted U.S. production of eight models.
Toyota’s president Akio Toyoda kept a low profile last week as the company, founded by his grandfather over 70 years ago, battled to contain the fallout. In his first public remarks since the recall went global, the Toyota family scion gave a brief apology to a Japanese television crew on Jan. 30.

Methods for making Aluminum Audio Speaker Parts
Methods for making Aluminum Audio Speaker Parts. Aluminum is considered one of the major materials used for speaker parts. It is less likely to rust like other metals and is light weight like plastic. It also has good thermal properties, being able to withstand heat and loud music.
Aluminum is also a recyclable. Like aluminum soda cans, aluminum speaker parts can be sent to recycling plants or junk yards to help ease the waste load of cities. And unlike others, aluminum has a high percentage of recycled use – most of it is turned back into usable aluminum. There is less than 20% that is turned into a sooth-like substance. This can still be re-used by mixing it into concrete.
Aluminum, as compared to other metals, is easier to form and mold. Unlike steel and other metals, aluminum does not need to be welded.
So, what are the Methods for making Aluminum Speaker Parts?
It is actually quite easy. You just pre-heat and melt pure aluminum or an aluminum alloy and through die casting, you inject the aluminum (using high pressures) into the created metal mold. This is through using cold chambers. You can even die cast pipes, tubes and holes into the aluminum speaker parts. Afterwards, you can just buff the aluminum part and ready it for shipping.

China’s Manufacturing Expands at Fastest Pace on Record
Prices charged by Chinese manufacturers rose at the most marked rate since July 2008 mainly due to rising raw material costs. As improved economic conditions encouraged spending, the HSBC China Manufacturing PMI, or purchasing managers’ index, rose to 57.4 last month from 56.1 in December, the highest since data were first collected in April 2004, the survey showed.
A reading above 50 means the sector is expanding, while a reading below 50 indicates an overall decline.
“Industrial activity continues to accelerate, implying stronger GDP (gross domestic products) growth in the first quarter,” Qu Hongbin, chief economist for China at HSBC, said.
“But rising input and output prices also point to greater inflationary pressure, which will likely prompt more tightening measures in the coming months,” he said.
The HSBC survey showed that new orders, supported by firmer market demand, rose at the fastest rate last month since the start of the survey while export sales also increased at a near-record rate.
Prices charged by Chinese manufacturers rose at the most marked rate since July 2008 mainly due to rising raw material costs, HSBC said.
A separate official PMI published by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing on Feb. 1 showed manufacturing activity expanded for the 11th consecutive month to 55.8 in January, slightly slower than 56.6 in December.
The world’s third largest economy grew 8.7% last year and 10.7% in the fourth quarter, underpinned to a large extent by a $586 billion government stimulus package unveiled in November 2008.
