What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Flooding in Thailand forced Toyota and Honda to temporarily halt production at several plants. The disruption, which affected Bangkok and 14 provinces, occurred because suppliers could not deliver components and employees could not reach the facilities. The event exposed the vulnerability of Thailand’s just-in-time manufacturing model.
