Known as Toyotism, the production model introduced in 1962 by Taiichi Ohno revolutionized industrial efficiency through its Just-in-Time and Zero-Inventory principles. Yet while these methods streamlined operations and reduced costs, they also created significant vulnerabilities, especially in mineral and metal supply chains. By eliminating buffers and relying on uninterrupted material flows, Toyotism left many companies exposed to the inherent volatility of global mining, refining, and logistics.

Consequently, industrial groups now depend on metal supply networks whose risks are insufficiently understood. The absence of strategic stock, the opacity of upstream sourcing, and the increasing concentration of production in a limited number of countries all amplify systemic fragility. What once constituted a breakthrough in industrial management has, in today’s era of resource competition and geopolitical tension, become a latent source of vulnerability.

Our role is to assist industrial actors in restoring strategic clarity and control over these essential supply chains. Through comprehensive analysis, upstream risk assessment, and tailored guidance, we help companies secure the continuity of their mineral and metal inputs, anticipate market shifts, and build long-term resilience in an increasingly uncertain global environment.
