Toyota Operations Improvement Plan

Toyota Operations Improvement Plan

**I have provided all five assignments needed to complete this assignment.**

Note: You must complete Assessments 1?5 before beginning this assessment.

For this assessment, submit your final operations improvement plan
(OIP). In the assessments you have completed thus far, you have
submitted drafts of each of the components of an OIP. Take time now to
update the work you have already completed with the information and
understanding you have gained throughout the course. Take into
consideration all of the research and groundwork you have completed
along the way. Incorporate feedback from previous assessments as well as
the tools, techniques, and methodologies you have examined throughout
the course. Finalize your comprehensive OIP as if you were to present it
as a formal recommendation to the organizational leaders of the Toyota
Motor Corporation. Focus your writing appropriately for that audience.
Make sure each piece of your OIP fits together and supports the other
elements.

Your final OIP should include the following elements:

  • A problem statement, including an overview of the Toyota recall crisis, with a brief history and description of the situation.
  • A description of the key challenge or problem you have chosen to
    address in Toyota’s organizational processes and an analysis of its
    organizational impact, based on theories and models of global operations
    management.
  • An executive summary of the collected and processed data (actual data, if possible, or assumed data, if necessary).
  • A cost-benefit analysis based on your data.
  • A description of your innovative and sustainable solution that
    reflects strategic global operations management concepts and practices.
  • Your recommendations for supporting the improvement of the selected process, based on practices of global operations management.
  • An explanation of the data or findings that validate your recommendations.
  • The visual tools that you developed to support and integrate your
    analysis into general business management planning and decision-making
    processes.
  • A conclusion.
  • A comprehensive references list.

Note: Please review and update cause-and-effect diagram and process flowchart in each assessment.

Combine these elements to create a complete, integrated operations
improvement plan, with each piece working together to support your plan.
