Toyota Way

Your class colleagues have each put a PowerPoint presentation and delivered presentations on 1-22 chapters of the Toyota Way. The goal of this assignment is to assess YOUR understanding of the Toyota Way.

Imagine this scenario:

You are on an interview for a Supplier Chain Management Leader position for Company X. Company X has narrowed the job offer down to you and another candidate. The final decision on who is going to get the offer will be based on a technical interview in the form of a training session. Company X has an opportunity to work with a new customer on a multi-million dollar business for the next 10 years. Company X can do everything that the customer wants, but the customer will ONLY sign the contract with Company X on the following two criteria: 1) Company X must ONLY buy products from suppliers who have adopted the Toyota Way Vision; AND 2) Company X must adopt the Toyota Way Vision in the next 3 months. Company X really wants to do business with this customer and is looking for someone who has an understanding of the Toyota Way Vision, to coach and mentor their supply chain team to embrace and adopt the Toyota Way Vision in Company X within the next 3-months.
