This document discusses Toyota's integration of total quality management (TQM) into its human resources management and operations. It finds that Toyota initially struggled with product defects from worn machines and worker confusion between tasks. To address this, Toyota implemented TQM strategies like focusing on continuous improvement, customer focus, and teamwork. This led Toyota to become the highest quality car producer in the world by the 1980s. The document concludes that Toyota's success is largely due to its integration of TQM principles into both its management and production operations.
