Project Plan for Implementation of AI Software in Toyota Motors Corporation
Introduction
Artificial Intelligence (AI) software can be described as a computer program that is
capable of imitating human behavior by learning the data patterns and insights (Nilsson 2014).
There are several benefits of combining AI with machine learning. It provides the users with the
needed functionality of streamlining the complex business processes.
On analyzing the current business operations of Toyota Motors Corporation, its
operational strategy, issues in its supply chain management, it is recommended that big data
drive AI platform can be implemented in the Corporation to enhance the overall business
operations.
The goal of this plan is to provide an outline of the project process, tools and techniques
that can be used to implement AI software in Toyota Motors. It is assumed that the feasibility
study of the project has already been completed and the project has moved to its planning stage.
In the following paragraphs, a detailed discussion on the project objectives, organization
objectives, the scope of the entire project, the related assumptions and the time required for
completion of this project are discussed. Along with that, a detailed description of the risks,
stakeholders and the funding of the AI software project are provided in the succeeding
paragraphs.
1. Project Objectives

PM
The objectives that will be fulfilled by the completion of the AI implementation project in
Toyota Motors Corporation are indicated as follows-
 To realize the need for implementation of AI in enhancing the operational strategy
of Toyota Motors Corporation (TMC)
 To plan and execute the project of AI software implementation in TMC
 To improve the quality management process by streamlining the business
operations of TMC by the implementation of AI software
 To install and launch the AI software in Toyota Motors Corporation
 To provide training to the staffs and employees with the working principle of the
new AI software to enhance the working process of Toyota Motors Corporation
and to reduce the operational inefficiency.
The completion of the above-identified objectives will indicate that the undertaken
project is successfully accomplished. The objectives of the undertaken project is linked with the
organizational objectives of Toyota Motors Corporation.
2. Organizations Objectives
The plan for implementation of new AI software is linked with the business objectives of
TMC. The company is committed to providing quality services to their clients with their
ceaseless innovation and passion for growth (Toyota Corporation 2020). The organization is
committed to providing quality services to its clients by continuously raising its standards for
consistency and satisfaction of the customer. In this pursuit, Toyota Motors Corporation aims to
improve their internal processes so that the product of high quality is delivered to its customers.
Certain operational and quality issues have been identified in Toyota Motors that reflects its

operational strategy. Certain modifications are needed to be brought in the operational strategy to
fulfil the following organizational objectives of Toyota Motors Corporation –
 To lead the future mobility society by enriching lives around the world
 To provide the best quality services to the customers
 To meet the challenging goals by engaging talented and passionate people to work
with them (Toyota Corporation 2020)
 To accept the challenging goal of making use of the passion and talent of people
A project of implementation of AI software is proposed for Toyota Motors Corporation
as issues in their existing operational strategy that can affect the long term goals of the
organization. For enhancing the operational strategy, the use of AI software within the
organization is suggested and accordingly, a plan for the project is being prepared.
3. Project Scope
Development of the project plan is subjected to the correct identification of the project
scope. This step is needed to eliminate the chances of scope creep in a project (Moustafaev
2014). Scope of a project can be described as a well-defined boundary that encompasses the key
activities that are done for delivering a software product. The in-scope requirements for the AI
software implementation project are shown as follows-
1. To develop a working plan for AI software implementation in Toyota Motors
Corporation
2. To allocate resources for the efficacious accomplishment of the AI software project

3. To estimate and calculate a realistic schedule for implementation of AI software in
Toyota Motors Corporation
4. To train the employees regarding the use of the new AI software
The plan developed for the AI software implementation project considers that above-
discussed scope, and there is the in-scope need of the project. The out scope project needs that
are not considered in the project plan are indicated as follows-
1. Maintenance of the system to be developed
2. Changes in the charter and the business case
3. Change in the baseline of the project
4. Change in the feasibility status
The above four points indicate the requirements that will not be fulfilled with the
completion of the project and hence it is out of the scope (Crawford 2014). The project plan for
AI software implementation project, therefore, excludes the fulfillment of the above
requirements.
4. Project Assumptions
The plan for the project is developed on the basis of certain key assumptions. Project
completion might be affected if these assumptions do not hold to be true. The critical
assumptions considered for implementation of AI software are indicated as follows-
1. It is assumed that the feasibility test of the AI software project has already been done
