Lessons from the Toyota recalls and the pedal acceleration case
03/01/2010
Federal investigations concluded in Feb 2011 by NHTSA and NASA in the US show "pedal misapplications," not faulty electronics as the main culprit behind the unintended acceleration So what went wrong for Toyota. It was the lack of an open and fast response that hurt Toyota, and the need for humility with fast growth because even floor mats and driving behaviours have to be treated with respect where safety is the issue.

Toyota Panel makes its recommendations for changes in global management structures
03/01/2010
Reforms and restructuring after the 2010 recalls. The Toyota panel said there needs to be one executive responsible for the entire U.S. operation. Before the crisis in vehicle safety Toyota had separate engineering, sales and production operations, but no head of the entire U.S. operation. Honda and Nissan have a head of U.S. operations. Another problem the panel sees is the insularity of the Japanese headquarters management. It recommends foreign directors be appointed to the board. Even after the safety crisis and a change in management structure to a smaller board, the lack of foreign directors remains a serious unaddressed problem.

Toyota's Committee for Global Quality headed by Akio Toyoda
03/01/2010
The Chief Quality Officer in the U.S. will sit directly across the table from the CEO with other Chief Quality Officers from Europe, Asia and Latin America. This is part of the new reorganization following the recall crisis of 2010. The idea is to have the CEO and the person most knowledgeable about the particular region's quality problems interact directly to resolve issues, and to provide for interaction between Quality Officers of different regions at one table to share information and problem solving strategies.

Management failure at Toyota in addressing quality and safety issues- the Recall period 2009-2011
01/29/2010
Toyota's own documents reveal that managers touted the $100 million savings in limiting the degree to which Toyota would address the quality and safety issues raised by unintended acceleration and failure in braking. Toyota had hired former National Highway Traffic and Safety officials and was able to limit what it had to do to address the problem. In the end the problems would cost billions of dollars in a massive recall effort and dent its image.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
