In 2010, Toyota suffered a number of shortfalls that caused it to recall a huge number of its vehicles and tarnished its reputation. The Japanese giant, long the industry's mentor for automotive product quality and manufacturing efficiency, had surrendered to producing a spate of cars at minimal cost and focusing on speed, cheapness, and quantity as opposed to quality. These actions tarnished their reputation and negatively affected the safety of their cars. To restore their name, therefore, Toyota set about implementing a series of control and strategies that would guide their culture and strategic management process.
