The Takaoka Plant in Japan, which was producing Corolla vehicles, was designated as the first mother plant to provide support for the launching of NUMMI, a joint venture company with General Motors which began production in 1984, and to provide operational guidance and advice for quality improvement after the start of operations. Subsequently, a mother plant system was established. Recently, overseas plants that started operations earlier in the same region as a new plant have been designated as mother plants.
