4 Strategy and Structure at Toyota Group

Author Webpage

• Published: April 2006
• Cite Icon Cite
• Permissions Icon Permissions

This chapter provides a historical case study of management and labour at the Toyota Group. It discusses Toyota's business diversification from textile machinery to automobiles, and more recently into other areas such as telecommunications. Compared to Matsushita, Toyota remained focused on automobile production, with a functional organizational structure. Toyota unions were originally factory unions that became unified as an enterprise union in 1950. But unlike at Matsushita, corporate spin-offs led to the establishment of separate enterprise unions, rather than the extension of the focal union's boundary. The chapter also traces parallel developments of consolidation and fragmentation at major suppliers, such as Toyoda Automatic Looms and Aisin.

Digital in the Driver’s Seat: Accelerating Toyota’s Transformation to Mobility Services

An in-depth description of a firm’s approach to an IT management issue (intended for MBA and executive education)

In 2020 Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) was the world’s top-selling car manufacturer. Despite this, the company was being driven to excel further in response to changing consumer expectations, technological developments, and new kinds of entrants into the automotive industry. Toyota’s leaders sought to accelerate the company’s culture of incremental innovation and realize a bold new future centered on mobility services. They pursued this by launching Toyota Connected, a new organization with its own decision rights and ways of working and a mandate to create new digital offerings for Toyota. In parallel, a new division within Toyota Motor North America called Connected Technologies facilitated the company-wide diffusion and commercialization of the offerings Toyota Connected created. This case describes what it took to empower the small, independent, agile Toyota Connected and how the entity collaborated with Connected Technologies to design and scale new digital offerings and new ways of working for TMC globally.

Report Fri 6th October, 2023 @ 13:03

I've always been a fan of off-roading, and I can't stress enough how important it is to have the right tires for the job. I recently swapped out my old street tires for a set of aggressive mud-terrain tires, and I'm blown away by the transformation  Apex wheel alignment . These tires provide incredible traction in mud, sand, and rocky terrain, allowing me to explore new trails and enjoy my off-road adventures to the fullest!

Nissan Sunderland Case Study

Topics > The Changing Economic World > Nissan Sunderland Case Study

The automobile sector remains one of the few major manufacturing industries in the UK. Over 1.5 million new vehicles are produced annually within the country, predominantly at seven major manufacturing facilities. These plants are owned by foreign-based transnational corporations (TNCs), including Nissan, Toyota, and BMW.

Car manufacturing was not sustainable in the past due to inefficient engines producing toxic pollutants, parts that were difficult to recycle and energy-intensive production processes. However, the situation is very different today.

Over 7,000 people are employed by Nissan at its car manufacturing plant in Sunderland, which is northeast of England.

The factory has become efficient in several ways:

• Electric Vehicle Production: Nissan’s introduction of the LEAF, one of the world’s best-selling electric vehicles, marked a major shift towards sustainable automobile production. This zero-emission vehicle reduces reliance on fossil fuels and lowers greenhouse gas emissions.
• Energy Efficiency: The plant has implemented various energy-saving measures. These include using renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines, to power operations, significantly reducing the factory’s carbon footprint. The site has ten wind turbines generating 6.6MW and 19,000 photo-voltaic panels (solar panels) generating 4.75MW of energy. This equates to 7% of the plant’s electrical requirements, enough to build 31,374 vehicles. CO2 levels have been reduced by 22.4% since 2005.
• Waste Reduction and Recycling: Nissan’s commitment to waste management involves minimising production waste and maximizing recycling. The plant operates under a zero-waste-to-landfill policy, ensuring all manufacturing waste is reused or recycled.
• Sustainable Supply Chain: Nissan collaborates with suppliers to ensure sustainable practices throughout its supply chain. This includes sourcing eco-friendly materials and ensuring suppliers adhere to environmental standards.
• Water Conservation : The factory employs advanced water conservation techniques, such as rainwater harvesting and water recycling systems, to reduce water usage in vehicle production.
• Education: The Skills Academy for Sustainable Manufacturing and Innovation (SASMI) supports the industry’s future through specialist training. Based at Nissan’s Sunderland plant, SASMI provides a training infrastructure for sustainable manufacturing and the low-carbon vehicle industry and a learning facility for employers, apprentices and students, providing new skills for new jobs.

Wind turbines, solar panels and the Nissan Leaf at the Nissan factory, Sunderland

Nissan’s Sunderland plant employs over 7,000 people and has shifted towards efficient operations, departing from the unsustainable practices of past car manufacturing.

Renewable energy powers the plant, with 10 wind turbines and 19,000 solar panels generating 7% of its electrical needs, enabling the production of 31,374 vehicles.

The plant focuses on eco-friendly innovations, developing electric and hybrid cars, and has achieved a 22.4% reduction in CO2 emissions since 2005.

The Skills Academy for Sustainable Manufacturing and Innovation (SASMI), located at the Sunderland plant, provides specialised training in sustainable manufacturing and the low-carbon vehicle industry, preparing workers, apprentices, and students for new roles in this evolving sector.
