We know applying risk pooling is that TMV should have 1 warehouse to reduce the inventory. However, the distant between North and South Vietnam is more than 2.000km. Therefore the lead-time to supply cars for South & West dealers is too long.
2. Standardization product to reduce inventory Toyota Motor Corporation and Toyota motor vietnam have a project which standardize the frame and chassis of the car in IMV project (In Multipurpose Vehicle) IMV project includes these cars: Innova, Hillux, Fortuner.
