This manual is intended to explain to Toyota’s suppliers what are Toyota’s
options in IMDS. This means it is not a complete training manual for the International
Material Data System.
Those options need to be used by Toyota’s Tier 1 suppliers but also by Tier 2,
Tier 3, … So, Toyota strongly recommend the Tier 1 suppliers to pass the information
to Tier 2 suppliers and so on. If Tier 2 suppliers did not follow Toyota’s requirements,
Tier 1 suppliers will have to correct the data before submitting the datasheets to Toyota
Motor Corporation (TMC, ID number 10674).
Concerning the structure of the datasheets, Toyota would like its suppliers to
follow the recommendations set up by the car manufacturers (see the chapter
“Recommendation” in the menu after login in IMDS). Those documents explain to the
users:
the general structure of a datasheet and the different fields to fill in,
how to build a datasheet for:
• complex parts (like circuit boards, wire harnesses, …),
• coated metal sheets and coated components,
• fasteners,
• leather and fabric,
• paint and coatings,
