Making a quick recovery from Thailand’s worst floods in 50 years, both Honda and Toyota reported they will be resuming normal production schedules at their North American plants in the next week.

First, Toyota announced that based on parts availability, its North American plants will continue operating on a normal production schedule starting this week — including overtime.

Further commenting on how the company is faring, company officials said, “With healthy inventory levels at dealerships leading into the annual Toyotathon year-end sales event, Toyota is well positioned to achieve its fourth quarter sales objectives.”

The company also ensured that decisions regarding future production schedules will be made based on an ongoing assessment of the parts supply situation.

And as for Honda, the news is looking good, as well. This may be surprising, since the OEM was arguably hit the hardest of all the Japanese automakers by the Thai floods.

Also due to an improvement in the overall parts supply situation, the company announced that its North American plants will resume normal production by Dec. 1.

“While the severe flooding in Thailand continues to have some impact to our parts supply, Honda is working closely with its suppliers to fully reestablish the flow of parts for the products made in North America,” company officials stressed.

Explained in a recent Auto Remarketing story, though 87 percent of the Honda and Acura automobiles sold in the U.S. are produced in North America, and most of the parts and materials used to produce these products are purchased from North American suppliers, a few critical electronic parts are sourced from Thailand and other regions of the world, illustrating the dramatic impact of the Thai floods on the automaker as a whole.
