From the Paper:

"In addition, Toyota also practiced the Just in time (JIT) system. They preferred when their suppliers were closer to their manufacturing their sites and both raw materials and semi finished did not have to add value in transportation and storage cost. Toyota tried to achieve excellence in the manufacturing process there by decreasing and completely eliminating waste (muda). Any process or operation that did not add value to the product and the material waste generated during production was considered wasteful. Acceptable quality limit (AQL) was practiced in the mass production sector in the United States and therefore Toyota's policy of complete waste elimination and 100% quality was novel."
