[some Japanese supply chain manufacturers have resumed work after the earthquake, but the scope of Toyota shutdowns will be further expanded.] Japanese companies temporarily suspended work at factories near the quake zone on Wednesday night after a magnitude 7.4 Earthquake struck off the coast of Fukushima in northeastern Japan. But power has been restored to much of northeastern Japan on Friday, and factories at some manufacturing companies have resumed work. However, Toyota's shutdown will expand next week because of a supply chain shutdown for upstream parts makers.
