- Abstract
- In December 1997, among the leading automobile manufacturers, Toyota was the first automaker who succeeded in the mass production of hybrid vehicles, Prius. Toyota perceived environment as a new keyword for the 21st century and forecasted a strong rivalry among automakers in the era of an environmental war. Therefore, Toyota attempted to develop technology which will become a new global standard and which will guarantee the
companys survival in the 21st century. Through the Prius project, Toyota achieved two innovations: product and process. Furthermore, Toyotas development lead time had significantly shrunk to 15 months. Toyota achieved these innovations by selecting a practical development direction,
hybrid as an interim product, and by managing development process successfully. Effective integration under the talented chief engineer, adequate channels of communication, and a shared-understanding within the firm led Prius development to a success.
