GE borrows from Toyota's playbook for post-breakup revival

TOKYO -- Now that General Electric has completed a three-way breakup, can the spun-off companies recover the glory the U.S. corporate icon once enjoyed? Their success could hinge on emulating Toyota Motor's approach to lean manufacturing. 

GE HealthCare Technologies spun off last year while GE Vernova, the power equipment arm, completed a spin-off last month. The remaining jet engine company, GE Aerospace, retains the original "GE" stock ticker symbol.
