the partners of the lean company. Although cost reduction is critical for Toyota, the
quality must not be sacrificed.
The second reason for subcontracting Toyota is to further improve quality management.
A viable option to eliminate poor management, in exchange for quality management, is to

process, a relative degree of pressure will also be relieved. The result would be a control
