Toyota Motor Europe is re-emphasizing the importance of quality on the assembly line to reduce post-production inspections and repairs.

Next year Toyota will open a so-called Global Production Center in the UK to train European workers how to make cars better. The first such center started in Japan two years ago. A third will open next year in the US.

"The customer should be protected from any inconvenience," said Shinichi Sasaki, CEO of Toyota Motor Europe, in an interview here.
