It also pioneered the use of automation to control production, allowing for greater efficiency and consistency.
In the late 1980s the company began expanding outwards to take advantage of sales and 토토사이트 순위 new markets. It launched the Cera Trading Company, importing and marketing other products of manufacturers to complement its own lines of plumbing fittings and sanitary earthenware. This strategy boosted sales and increased the company's market share.
In the 90s, Toto began to focus on research and development of water-related appliances. It also improved its distribution system to better serve customers and increase profit. The company used the same just-in-time approach to its supply chain management as well as sales program. This resulted in a higher degree of customer satisfaction.

They also played on records by Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, and Sonny and Cher.
Discography

Line-up
The album's third, Turn Back, marked the return to the traditional sextet format of previous albums and was a more ferocious, constant effort with an edge that was more pronounced than Hydra. The more edgy sound of the album was indicative of the maturation of group and included drummer Bobby Kimball's increased ability on the drums and an improved, mature vocal delivery by singer Joseph Williams. David Paich's keyboard playing was as well more refined, more precise and less akin to earlier efforts.
After touring to promote the album, the band recorded a live show in Amsterdam which was released as a two-CD set entitled Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. The studio album came out a few months later, and the group went on an extensive world tour in support of it. In this time keyboardist Greg Phillinganes replaced Paich and bassist David Hungate quit the group to spend time with his family.
In 1998, Paich & Lukather began looking through old tapes and demos to discover songs that hadn't been recorded prior to. It was completed in the form of a double-album called Then & Now in 2001.
