“将懂你”挺能整

4月19日,丰田云动之夜在北京举行。这次盛典上。中国丰田全新高层领导组合“将懂你”（姜君、董长征、李晖）亮相。4月19日,丰田云动之夜在北京举行。这次盛典上,中国丰田全新高层领导组合“将懂你”（姜君、董长征、李晖）亮相。虽然说这个丰田中方领导“组合”还带有玩笑的成分,但从近两年“丰田中国”到“中国丰田”的转变上不难发现,在华事业已经开展50年的丰田,似乎比以往任何时候都期待“读懂”中国社会和市场的需求。     

“丰田中国”与“中国丰田”有什么不同

将“丰田中国”转变成为“中国丰田”,这是一个全新的说法。 今年4月被任命为丰田中国本部长的大西弘致在广州车展丰田展台说：“今后,丰田将以中国本地为主导推进事业,要将之前‘丰田中国’转变成为‘中国丰田’,实现更加扎根于中国的本地化变革,继续为中国社会做出贡献。”当时在现场的我对这种说法既感到新鲜,也感到是丰田对中国市场的态度更加明朗,也是丰田章男“中国很重要”观念的又一种延伸体现。当然,将丰田两字前后一挪,到底能有多少变化,一下子也很难量化,但我认为至少这个表态值得肯定。     

你的企业为什么不能成为丰田?

这是一个很有意思的现象,许多企业都希望成为丰田,于是大力效仿丰田生产方式,但却没有任何一个企业能够成为丰田。丰田成功的精髓到底在哪里呢?也许我们要从TWI中找找答案。     

名利场

佐佐木昭出任丰田在华董事长 2012年4月7日,丰田中国发布两个重要人事变动,即4月1日起,丰田中国董事长并兼任中国总代表由佐佐木昭出任,丰田中国副董事长和本部长职务由丰田公司专务大西弘致接任。佐佐木昭出任丰田中国董事长是丰田加快其中国区事业步伐的表现,人事上的本土化策略更加凸显了其对中国市场的关注。     

丰田特别顾问服部悦雄先生的一席谈

9月11日上午,汽车与社会发展研究咨询中心周立群主任和前丰田（中国）投资公司总经理、丰田驻中国总代表服部悦雄先生见面会谈。一汽丰田、广州丰田、天津、四川丰田都是服部先生从日本回中国时合作成功的,当时服部先生一张纸、一份策划就起步了。现在服部先生是丰田（中国）投资公司、丰田驻中国代表处顾问,也是日本丰田总部的顾问,他说日本有100岁的人天天坐地铁上班,他也要向丰田章男提出要工作到80岁。     

人事

6月23日，在丰田汽车公司召开的股东大会上，52岁的丰田彰男正式就任总裁一职，并同时宣布了86人的高管团队名单。2000年进入丰田高级管理层的丰田章男，2005年起担任执行副总裁，此次出任总裁意味着，自1995年丰田彰男的叔父丰田达郎卸任后，丰田家族的成员再次执掌这一日本最大制造业企业。     

尔的企业勾什么不能成为丰田？

这是一个很有意思的现象，许多企业部希望成为丰田，于是人力效仿丰田生产方式，但却没有任何一个企业能够成为丰田。丰田成功的精髓到底在哪里呢？也许我们要从TWI中找找答案。     

CT200H F-SPORT 加大新能源布局力度

雷克萨斯的2015年2014年初,丰田中国提出110万辆的销售目标,这不仅是丰田首次提出在华销量破百万辆,也是首次将中国市场的销量增幅上调到20%。但是2014年9月,一汽丰田将年度销量目标从66万辆下调到62万辆;此后,雷克萨斯将销量目标从8.5万辆逐步下调到7.5万辆,这使得丰田中国110万辆预期目标充满变数。丰田中国相关负责人表示,销量预期对于丰田最重要的意义在于和零部件供     

“既家族又现代”的丰田接班人

丰田家族与丰田汽车之间的关系,展示出了一幅＂既家族又现代＂、不拘一格的企业画卷。如果丰田佐吉不是把其成熟的纺织产业交由养子丰田利三郎打理,并鼓励和支持亲生儿子丰田喜一郎在汽车领域开创自己的事业,如果丰田家族不是保持开放思维、善用有能力的外姓经理人员,丰田的故事不会如此精彩     

丰田召回的两大败笔

2月24日,丰田汽车总裁丰田章男不得不出现在美国国会的听证会上,对丰田召回事件接受美国国会议员尖锐的质询。而在早前有媒体爆出丰田章男可能缺席听证会的消息后,立即引起了用户的强烈不满。丰田已经从标榜"客户第一"的标杆企业沦为"没有充分为客户考虑"的企业。     

论精益生产方式与全面质量管理的关系

从精益生产的理论形成为着力点,分析精益生产与全面质量管理的相互联系,明确精益生产的基本理论是符合现代质量管理的基本思想．彻底杜绝浪费以提高生产率正是全面质量管理所要求达到的高质量的目标。总结出精益生产必须以全面质量管理基本思想为指导,没有全面质量管理的基本理论指导就不可能创造出真正的精益生产方式,也就无法实现企业的创新与发展,最终将会被市场所淘汰.     

汇率“寒意”

现在来看,虽然人民币汇率之争暂时不会出现最终的结果,但是对于企业来说,未雨绸缪已经追在眉睫。     

Redefining the Toyota Production System: the European side of the story

Trapped into the sterile opposition between the empowerment and the management by stress approaches, the debate on the Toyota Production System has failed to provide a clear understanding of the social and organisational conditions that make this system viable. By focusing on the work organisation, the market configuration and the industrial infrastructure of the European transplants of Toyota, this paper proposes an alternative approach centred on the notions of 'contextualisation' and 'human agency.'     

丰田危机

在底特律三大汽车巨头刚刚破茧重生，仍处于竞争劣势的大背景下，丰田汽车召回事件融进了政治因素、民众情绪等复杂因素，而快速扩张过程中对传统的背景却是根本原因。     

膜法分离纯化葛根素的实验研究

生产周期的长短在一定程度上决定了企业产品的成败,而生产周期的缩短是一个持续改善的过程,最理想的状况是"单件流"的生产方式。依据笔者多年实施丰田式生产方式的经验,结合丰田与某供应商之间生产周期缩短的实例,详细阐述了生产周期缩短的途径和意义,以期为国内制造或服务类企业提供一种高效的生产经营模式,增强其竞争力。     

Relation‐specific capabilities and barriers to knowledge transfers: creating advantage through network relationships

This study examines the role of network knowledge resources in influencing firm performance. More specifically: Can a firm that uses the identical supplier network as competitors and purchases similar inputs from the same plants achieve a competitive advantage through that network? In a sample of U.S. automotive suppliers selling to both Toyota and U.S. automakers, we found that greater knowledge sharing on the part of Toyota resulted in a faster rate of learning within the suppliers' manufacturing operations devoted to Toyota. Indeed, from 1990 to 1996 suppliers reduced defects by 50 percent for Toyota vs. only 26 percent for their largest U.S. customer. The quality differences were found to persist within suppliers because the inter‐organizational routines and policies at GM, Ford, and Chrysler acted as barriers to knowledge transfers within suppliers' plants. These findings empirically demonstrate that network resources have a significant influence on firm performance. We also show that some firm resources and capabilities are relation‐specific and are not easily transferable (redeployable) to other buyers or networks. This result implies that a firm may be on its production possibility frontier for each customer but the productivity frontier will be different for each customer owing to constraints associated with the customer's network.

丰田，亲～

最近，美元兑日元一直在79关口附近徘徊，这件事牵动着丰田章男的神经。丰田需要汇率为80才能维持—定利润水平。稍微再升值到77意味着丰田会有10亿日元的利润被瞬间吞噬掉。虽然，美元兑日元的汇率已有走软的趋势．显然，现在离丰田章男满意的数值110还差很远。     

The Difficult Path to Lean Product Development

Lean product development holds the promise of dramatically improving a company's competitive position. Its implementation offers the potential for faster product development with fewer engineering hours, improved manufacturability of products, higher quality products, fewer production start-up problems, and faster time to market. Of course, all of this improves the likelihood of market success. As Christer Karlsson and Pär Åhlström point out, however, a company attempting to implement lean product development must overcome numerous obstacles. By spending more than 2 years observing and facilitating one company's efforts to make this transition, they were able to identify various factors that either hinder or support the implementation of lean product development. Lean product development comprises numerous interrelated techniques, including supplier involvement, cross-functional teams, concurrent engineering, integration (as opposed to coordination) of various functional aspects of each project, the use of a heavyweight team structure, and strategic management of each development project. However, a company does not achieve lean product development simply by implementing some of these techniques. A successful move toward lean product development requires approaching these interrelated techniques as elements of a coherent whole. As observed in the subject company, several factors can hinder attempts to achieve lean product development. For example, managerial overemphasis on R&D in development projects hampers efforts to achieve cross-functional integration. In other words, creating a team with members from various functions is easier than achieving a cross-functional focus throughout an organization. Similarly, a cross-functional team cannot perform effectively if a sequential view of the development process persists. Factors that support the transition to lean product development include: tight development schedules, which contribute to a must-do attitude; close cooperation with a qualified customer, who can provide vital information as well as challenge the development team; highly competent engineers; and, most important, the active, ongoing support and participation of top management. Most participants in the process examined in this study seemed interested in the possibilities of lean product development, which suggests that motivation to change may not pose a significant problem in similar efforts.     

技术创新乘数效应的运行机理探微

技术创新乘数效应是一个有待拓展的重要理论命题。考察技术创新乘数效应的内在运行机理可以发现,技术创新乘数效应是通过规模经济、范围经济、联结经济和速度经济等形态生成的,并与福特制、丰田制和温特制等组织载体相耦合。因此,中国应通过多种路径为充分发挥技术创新乘数效应创造条件。
