New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. is an automobile manufacturing plant in Fremont, California. When it began production in 1984, it was the first automotive joint venture plant in the United States. The factory was an old General Motors plant and is now a joint venture between GM and Toyota. GM saw this joint venture as an opportunity to learn about Lean Manufacturing from their Japanese partners. NUMMI is an award-winning facility which now ranks with other Toyota plants among the most productive manufacturing operations in North America. GM rotates around 16 managers each year to learn lean techniques and has improved quality enough to show through on J.D. Power quality rankings. Its manufacturing plants are also recognised as having improved plant efficiency on the most recent Harbour Report.
Currently, the NUMMI plant produces the Toyota Corolla compact car, Toyota Tacoma pickup truck and the Pontiac Vibe station wagon. In the past, it has also produced the Geo Prizm, the later Chevrolet Prizm, and the Chevrolet Nova; as well as the Toyota Voltz, the Japanese right-hand drive version of the Pontiac Vibe - both are based on the Toyota Matrix, which is manufactured in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. Employment is nearly 5,000 workers.
