Editor's Notes
- After having had a look at the pst and present state of the company let us move on to the first question of the case study
- This case study aims to understand toyot’s product setting strategy. Given above are the four pillars on which Toyota’s success is based. I will dicuss these ponts further in the presentation. These pillars have helped them in achieveing customer delight.
- Moving to the first point of configuration. They model their products on the core benefits that customers of each segement desire.
- Modelling products around the core benefits that customers desire helped in increasing their market share. The company also hanged its products according to the country. For example in Usa luxury means comfort while in Europe luxury means attention to detail and brand heritage
- Heres an another advertisement where the company shows that they care about their customers core need and wants.
- Lets shift our focus to the next point of quality .Toyota’s automobiles are infamous for their quality, the same point is reiterated too by the company in their advertisements
- Moving on to reliability. TOYOTA AUTOMOBILES HAVE CONSTANTLY RECEIVED HIGH RANKING ON CONSISTENCY AND QUALITY. EVEN AFTER THE MAJOR RECALL OF 8 MILLION CARS, THE COMPANY WAS ABLE TO REBUILD ON ITS PROMISE OF ”QDR”. THEY ARE FAMOUS FOR THE WARRANTY AND GUARANTEE PROVIDED ON THEIR PRODUCTS.
- Heres an example of how Toyota used customisation, to capture a market share in the young adults consumer segmrnt. They even created a separate brand for the same.
- To become the biggest manufacturer of automobiles a company also requires demand. Toyata has solved the problem by creating a car for every micro segement. To maintain exclusisvity the company create ddiffernt brands wherever required.
- Product length refer to the Total Number of items in theproduct line, . Their product life is also long. Heres an interesting fact 80% of the cars manufactured in 1995 are still in use in the US
- Moving to the last point of lean manufacturing. Toyota follows many principles, a popular one being the “Just in time” principle. It is an inventory strategy, which helps them in enhancing their efficiency.
- We can now answer the second question in the case study
- I strongle feel that this strategy was beneficial for the company. everybody knows about Toyota, which increased their comnsumer loyalty, every averge American buys a Toyota for his first car. The huge surge in demand from difeernt segments enhanced their profitability, this strategy also helped in increasing their market share.
- Toyota has the ability to convert their threats into opportunities, the way they handled their recalls are a testament to that.
- To recall, in this presentation we tried to understand product setting strategies of Toyota using the principles for the same. Toyata’s practices known as The Toyota way have become the industry norm for quality, great service and marketing excellence
- Lastly, I would like to take this opportuniyty to thank Professor samerr Mathur for giving me chance to present this case study.
