The Contradictions that drive Toyota's success
Toyota Motor Corp's unorthodox manufacturing system - the Toyota Production System (TPS) - enables the Japanese giant to make the planet's best automobiles at the lowest cost and to develop new products quickly. Not only have Toyota's rivals such as Chrysler, Daimler, Ford, Honda, and General Motors developed TPS-like systems. TPS is a "hard" innovation that allows the company to keep improving the way it manufactures vehicles; in addition, Toyota has mastered a "soft" innovation that relates to corporate culture. The company succeeds because it creates contradictions and paradoxes in many aspects of organizational life. Toyota's culture of contradictions plays as important a role in its success as TPS does, but rivals and experts have so far overlooked it. Toyota believes that efficiency alone cannot guarantee success. Some key contradictions that Toyota fosters and how other companies can learn to thrive on contradictions are discussed..Printed journal
