Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. removed per diems
from its travel policy in 2015 and updated its business class travel policy. It
also implemented a Dinova dining rebate program and aligned its travel policy
across its sales, operations and manufacturing groups, a nod to TMS’s multiyear
process to align those divisions. By 2017, it expects to have closed its two
North American headquarters offices—in Torrance, Calif., near Los Angeles, and
Erlanger, Ken., near Cincinnati—and consolidated into a new headquarters in
Plano, Texas, near Dallas. Some other facilities and physical reorganization
are part of the process. And thus, the company’s 2016 goals include improving
relocation services.
In 2015, TMS spent 14 percent more on
U.S.-booked air volume than it did in 2014, when it spent $56.3 million. For
2016, TMS expects that number to rise 28 percent to $82.5 million. Meanwhile,
cost savings will be a focus for minor policy changes implemented this year. Of
the tickets purchased at U.S. points of sale in 2015, 83 percent were for
domestic travel. All tickets purchased at U.S. points of sale were booked
through approved online tools, and 70 percent of those required no agent assistance.
TMS had 15,100 travelers in 2015; revenue reached $80 billion.
