Toyota Motor Corp. says it expects all 30 of its domestic vehicle assembly lines to resume operations by May 6.

The company shut down 26 lines following major earthquakes on April 14 and 16 that disrupted its domestic supply chain. It began reopening its factories on Monday and has relaunched operations at 18 to date.

Toyota says it will decide its longer-term production on May 16. The company figures the disruptions cost it 80,000 units of output.
