Abstract
 Our company started its operation in 1992 as the first automobile manufacturing plant built outside Aichi prefecture in Toyota Group. Since the beginning of the factory operation in 1992, we have been working toward high-quality and affordable manufacturing with a customer-first mindset. For the TQM, we took over the TQM philosophy cultivated by the Toyota Motor Corporation and have been putting it into practice from the bignning. However, to achieve our vision in accordance with the changing management environment, we found it necessary to improve our organizational capability through our TQM activity in order to achieve our vision. So we renewed our company vision in 2010 (Vision2015)and have been promoting our own TQM activities(.Step1)In 2014, we established TQM promotion department to accelerate our TQM activity further. Consequently, we could achieve our vision and received Deming Prize in 2016. We will continue to develop and promote our unique TQM activity to meet with the management environment change and strive toward the achievement of our future vision.
