That said, I believe that focusing on a specific firm like Toyota Motor Corporation, which has survived and thrived, can yield rich insights for those interested in this company, in the automobile industry, or in the longterm success of any manufacturing firm. 1). The main purpose of this analysis is to demonstrate that Toyota's manufacturing capability building process can be described as multipath system emergence, and thereby to highlight the top layer of Toyota's distinctive competence—its evolutionary learning capability.
39 For explaining the routinized learning capability, however, the standard problem-solving routine remains relevant. Although the linear model may not reflect the actual messiness of the shop floor, an organization that imposes a routinized problem-solving scheme on this confusing reality is still likely to improve its performance faster than organizations that have not established such routines. 40 Evolutionary Learning Capability The third layer of this framework is not so easy to observe in the everyday workings of a company.
It is a myth that the Toyota system is a unique antithesis of Ford system. The main question in this chapter is how such region-specific or firm-specific routine capabilities were acquired by certain firms over time. Take the Toyota-style manufacturing system. Was it created all at once by visionary system creators such as Sakichi Toyoda (inventor of Toyoda-style looms and founder of Toyoda Automatic Loom), Kiichiro Toyoda (founder of Toyota Motor Corporation), or Taiichi Ohno? Or was it gradually created as various elements were cumulatively incorporated into the system?
