New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc.(NUMMI) is the pioneering
joint venture of General Motors Corporation and Toyota Motor Corporation.
Established in Fremont, California, in 1984, NUMMI helped change the automobile
industry by introducing the Toyota Production System and a teamwork-based
working environment to the United States.
Today, NUMMI has grown to become a company of 5,500 team members who produce
three award-winning vehicles: Toyota Corolla, Toyota Tacoma and Pontiac
Vibe. In 2002 NUMMI began producing a right-hand drive Toyota, Voltz,
which is exported to Japan.
Throughout its history, NUMMI has worked hard to create a unique
corporate culture that borrows from Toyota, General Motors and the nearby
Silicon Valley environment. NUMMI's collaborative partnership with the
United Auto Workers has been the topic of numerous labor relations studies.
The company's core values are based on five cornerstones: teamwork, equity,involvement,
mutual trust and respect, and safety.
