The president of Toyota's Georgetown plant was quoted as saying, "Demand for high volumes saps your energy. Over a period of time, it eroded our focus [and] thinned out the expertise and knowledge we painstakingly built up over the years." This quote suggests that
◦
high demand for Toyota's cars prevented the company from focusing on its strength: auto design.
◦
Toyota was experiencing an excess demand for its automobiles which it had difficulty keeping up with.
◦
as Toyota expanded its capacity, it experienced diseconomies of scale.
◦
Toyota was focused on "churning" out cars for which it did not invest sufficiently in training its workers.
