2.2 Risks
Category Risk Description Solution
Schedule Time was a bit too
fast for the staff
counting votes
Maybe they will make
a bit of a mistake in
the process of earning
votes because they are
being pressured by
so give the counting
staff a little more time
so things don't go
wrong

time
Budget Lack of money may be more
expensive in the
process of creating the
survey than they
expected
It is advisable to
count additional cases
that may arise cost
more money than they
expected, or find
cheaper options
Technical Reference on the
paper, could not be
back up
We are not sure if this
will continue to be
resolved when this is
resolved, so we need
to save each case.
When done on paper,
we need to save it on
the computer or
somewhere to save, if
we do not need to do
survey later.

2.2.5 Quality
To evaluate the success and failure of the project and ensure the reliable quality of the survey, we
set the criteria like these:
 Leading the staff to have the most honest answers.
 Collect at least 100 survey samples per 150 employees
 The survey form ensures it is fully distributed to 150 Toyota employees.
 Also have to hand over the survey to the employee on time and return it as scheduled for
the company to quickly grasp and process more quickly.
From the above criteria, leaders will base on and evaluate each difficulty that employees face
without worrying about their employees playing games or asking for anything. Just needing staff
to answer honestly and submit on time is considered successful in this project.
