General motors is the first big company which covers almost 1/3rd auto-mobile industrystake in the passenger car segment. Toyota emerged itself a new revolution in the passengersegment and now company add new edition in cars to make them environmental friendly. Ascompany's main policy is to give a innovative and eco-friendly products that produce leastemits. Company main policy is consumer oriented. The company production system is to peopleand consumer directed, this is followed since many years in their routine work(Zairi, 2012).Toyota production system has bas basically three desired results which are mentioned hereunder:Toyota's main aim is to give a consumer vehicle which contains highest safety standardfeatures, at reasonable price, within a short time frame delivery.

The base of the Toyota production system are framed on status to ensure a hassle freemethod of operation and a regular approach to quality. Toyota quality management team isrequired to enhance the standard procedures to get the supreme quality and romve waste. This isknown by the name 'Kazian', and this is used in every departments of the company. Toyota perform various function likeThere are four management functions of Toyota which helps the firm to attain the sustainability.These are described in details:Planning: This is the process of fixing the pre-set goals and targets, emerging thestrategies and outlining tasks and scheduling to achieve the pre-set targets of the firm. At IMCplanning covers the few things such as what to introduce a new variant and at what time it needsto introduce new model. What are the features which are required to be added in the newvariant, and in what manner, these are marketed effectively. However, the Toyota works on twotypes of planning. Which are market planning, and the other one is management planning.Organising: Management organise the connection between people, work and resourceswhich are used in order to attain the common targets, and this is an important thing fororganisation's administrative unit. Organising covers: customer care division, department offinances, sales channel, manufacturing facility.Leading: this is one of the most crucial part IMC''s managerial hierarchy. As this decidesthe way in which the entire firm's operations is requires to go.

The company's maintask is to convert inputs effectively into outputs. Inputs covers- labor, machines, equipment, land,buildings, raw materials. While output is the final products which is made after processing theinputs. Company's processing system is also used to evaluate how the organisation make finalproducts which are required to meet the consumers desire. It is not relevant whether a companyis for profit oriented or for the social welfare, entire firms main motto is to increase the quality oftheir transformation process.

However, company uses supply chainmanagement function so that management of the firm map the production process. This is thebest tool to improve the operations in an effective manner. With the help of this SCM approach,firm can effectively achieve the targets so that the it can attain the pre-set objectives in aneffective manner. The manufacturing process is effectively done by using the SCM approach. 1.3 Critically examine the output of the process and the purpose of a quality gateway in theOperations department of Toyota:Company's outputs are prepared after taking the due and reasonable care in theprocessing activities.

Company is continuouslystriving very hard to get the industry best mileage in their vehicle this will also give thecompetitive advantages among the competitors (Closs, Speier and Meacham, 2011).Quality gateway could be adopted as the firm's point via which entire processes and firmfunction will pass through. The main aim of having a gateway in the firm is to trap theinadequate processes as early as possible. Such would assist the firm to emerge easy flow ofprocesses and functions. Quality gateway are the most essential for gaining firm's pre-setobjectives. Now, consumers are very choosy, and majority of consumers selects the vehicle which is safefrom the environmental points of view.

Itis like when company is so hectic doing things that company did not remember to ask whetherwhat company is doing is the right thing. This is crucial thing for everyone in the firm to know.Supporting to clear hoe the activity trap occurs and how MBO is framed to aid company'semployees to know the target of making work which the team members do efficiently(Closs,Speier and Meacham, 2011).Steps of M.B.O.1.Define organisation goal- The first step is to define the objectives of the organisation sothat everyone in the firm can work with a clear vision and remain concentrated.2.Define employee objectives- the employees should be made clear about what is expectedout of them and what are their individual duties.3.Monitoring- The process of the management need continuous monitoring so thatcorrections can be taken at the same time.4.Performance evaluation- this step help in comparing the performance of the employeesagainst the set standards.5.Providing feedback6.Performance rewards
