Finally, the long-term draining experiment demonstrated that the macro-porous matrix may not be a continuous medium, which makes experimental procedures that rely on matrix potential in specific points of the solid waste mass inaccurate.
It is significant that in today's marketplace Toyota is able to manufacture and sell the vehicle for a profit.
Our model yields insight into why the Toyota Production System has been able to obtain such excellent results over time, and suggests a number of interesting future directions.
This study highlights the importance of considering matrix management with a long term perspective for conservation efforts.
In this paper, we show how empty vehicle traffic strongly influences several important AGVS design problems, such as flowpath design and vehicle requirements.

According to the recently proposed matrix completion theory, only a subset of the entries are enough to recover the whole matrix as long as certain conditions are met, thus the implementation cost of obtaining a matrix could be reduced.
The resulting master curve can be used to predict the long-term properties of the matrix and for any temperature and humidity conditions.
By logical extension, this provides support for adoption of a holistic and long-term strategy, integrating soft and hard elements, by those organisations attempting to implement and sustain Toyota-style systems.
