It started when I was in high school and my brother bought a 10 year old Toyota truck. He didn't put anything into it, just kept driving it, even through his college years he kept driving that old Toyota. It wouldn't die, we bought it from him when we were in college and it kept on going for us, I hoped it would die, I prayed it would die, but it just kept on chugging on down the road. The same thing held true for some friends of ours. They bought an old Toyota truck and drove it until the body was rusting off of it, but the engine was indestructible. The husband finally gave it to a neighbor teen boy who was thrilled and is probably still driving it today.Our son bought an Avalon that had been totaled in an accident. The body was repaired but repainted very good. The paint is falling off, the car is rusting away, but the engine has gone on smoothly, without any help on his part. Rarely even changes the oil, it just keeps on going. He has 198,000 miles on it and I don't see any end in sight for it unless the body just falls on the ground one day. I bought myself and our daughter bought herself a Corolla. They run maintenance free forever. You can buy a car for less, but...more

There are important lessons pharma can learn from Toyota's quality mishaps. Recently, this car manufacturer, which has been considered the Gold standard for the implementation of Lean Manufacturing programs, faced the worst crisis in its history, when 8.5 million cars were withdrawn due to safety issues.Suddenly, client loyalty was in peril for this brand, which had always been associated with the highest quality. Sales decreased, fines were paid, and liability suits faced; and all of this will cost the company more than $5 billion.Toyota's CEO apologized and acknowledged that they had drifted from their original mission to offer product quality and customer satisfaction to center on growth; and he admitted they had grown too fast.Nevertheless, the company reacted promptly and formed a senior management team headed by the CEO to refocus its mission.The case has been extensively analyzed and many theories have surfaced. Some have proposed that Lean manufacturing has flaws in itself and that applying Lean principles means compromising product quality; however, this is false.Toyota's production system and Lean processes didn't cause the problem; it started when the company...more
