The fire occurred in the Aisin Seiki Co.'s Factory No. 1 in Kariya, Japan.  The location here is the Aisin Corporation in Kariya but the exact location of the fire within the company needs to be determined.

1997 Aisin fire

The 1997 Aisin fire was a fire which shut down one of the production facilities of the Toyota-subsidiary Aisin Seiki Co. on February 1, 1997, a Saturday. The event was notable as the factory was the main supplier of a motor part for Toyota cars. Due to the just in time stock keeping philosophy of the Toyota Production System (TPS), Toyota's car factories reportedly only kept four-hour stocks of the part.[1]
