(J) Group management and GWQM of Toyota group
The KEIRETSU of Toyota group has long historical tradition. When Motomachi
factory complete on 1959, concentration of the quality and amount stable supplying
parts supplier was demanded around the factory in order to keep reduction of
inventories effects by JIT it was promoted before. And then the Technical Guidance
Policy for Special subcontracting factory under “Autoparts Control Bylaw” declared by
Mr. Kiitiro Toyoda on February 1940 was similar to “Instruction of Improvement of
Management and Technology, Financial Support for subcontracting factory” in
“Subcontractor Certification System” of the Commerce and Industry Ministry in 1941,
and this idea was considered the policy of Level Up of an affiliated factory to be raised
the level until JIT is enabled and was effective (Negishi [23]). In addition to their policy,
TQC introduction in Toyota would be effective for JIT processing on (Nemoto [18]).
While being implementing JIT in Toyota, various strategy management such as
M&A exercise and new age "KEIRETSU" construction were done corresponding to the
change in the business environment flow (Nihon Keizai Shinbun [25], [26]). However,
the Group Management concept didn't change. It becomes management philosophy of
Toyota, and the KEIRETSU criticism of the United States also countered for. (Nihon
Keizai Shinbun [27], [28]). There is a history flowed to the basis that had made an effort
to the construction of Toyota Production System (TPS) with both of Toyota and Kyoho
Association (Toyota Suppliers Association) member enterprise since Motomachi factory
completion, and the construction of the cross promotion of neither mutual development
and nor mutual exchange through TQM are forgotten in the backing. The way of
GWQM program of the Toyota group is similar in the USA. On the other hand, Toyota
that aims to achieve “Best Procurement in the World” is maintaining the affiliate in the
meaning "Both are firmly lied with for achieving Coexistence and Co-prosperity " now.
However, it can be asserted, "There is no fact of business relationship have only been
with the manufacturer of affiliated company while being shared the stocks by each
other".
