History of Toyota Australia
– Supplier Association
– Effect of “knowledge sharing network” on
supply chain coordination
– Upstream and downstream entities
Suppliers Association
• The key to Toyota’s success would appear
to be their highly effective supplier
integration process that over the past 50
years has enabled the excellence of their
internal “hoshin kanri” strategic
management, cross functional process
based management and Toyota
Production System to be shared directly
with their direct suppliers.
Effect of “knowledge sharing network”
– Bundled outsourcing
– Logistic challenge
– Import of vehicle components
Bundled Outsourcing
• One of the important characteristics of Toyota Japan
suppliers system in terms of the inter-firm tasking
portioning is that the outsourcing ratio is high not only in
manufacturing but also in product development.
– Production of Engines
(Once completed, the engines head straight for the
final assembly)
– Pressing of steel panels and parts
– Welding of car shells
– Painting of car shells
– Final Assembly

Goal 1: Provide a comprehensive domestic supplier base
Solution: Implementation of a supplier website
Solution 1
Implementation of a supplier website
By Joseph Baez
Solution Description
• Small and diverse companies though have the ability to display such
potential to add
– Innovation
– Flexibility and
– Strength to TMCA’s supply base.
Supplier Website
• TMCA first has to open its doors to the
domestic market suppliers
– Invest in their new concept of supply base
• Target: 100% domestic suppliers
Agent-Oriented e-Marketplace
• Handles complex and non-deterministic interactions
usually involved in e-Marketplace
– E.g. Auctions and ad-hoc service integrations
• Components of proposed e-Market system for TMCA will
be able to change its configuration to participate in
different, often simultaneous roles in e-Marketplaces.
– Completes tasks that would be manually impossible.
• e-Marketplace agents play several roles
– Will be able to coordinate, cooperatively or
competitively, with the other agents, including HR
Agent Oriented Domestic Marketplace
• Current electronic Kanban (card) system is the only existing mechanism for
ordering supplies between TMCA and its suppliers;
• A linear supply chain is not able to efficiently support the JIT productions as
significant collaboration among entities within the supply chain.
Solution 3
– Forecast Agent
– Inventory Agent
– Order Agent
– Multi - Tier Visibility Agent
Details of the Desired Agents to be work as
Forecast Agent
• enables suppliers to rapidly align demand and supply in the mid-to-long-
term planning horizon,
• allowing customers and their partners to arrive at a consensus forecast or
plan.
• provides alerts and notifications of demand supply mismatches and
• can support a single-phase or two-phase commit planning process.
Inventory Agent
• enables suppliers to align demand and supply by providing visibility to
inventory status levels at multiple internal and external locations, as well as
in-transit positions, enabling optimal levels of inventory.
• allows partners to exchange key inventory-related information, such as
demand-pull requests and target inventory levels
• can be used to track supplier compliance to contract obligations such as
min/max inventory levels.
• exception alerts can be configured to flag any inventory-level violations.
Details of the Desired Agents to be work as
Order Agent
• enables suppliers to manage and track the entire purchase order lifecycle
through TMCA’s supply process.
• Suppliers can manage and track, in real-time, the complete end-to-end
process for discrete, replenishment, demand pull and/or blanket purchase
orders from order creation through shipment, receipt, invoicing and
payment.
• logs the order into the current BEA system, the information will immediately
be sent Toyota Vehicle Order Processing System (TVOPS).
• the real-time inventory module will acquire the new order information and be
analysed.
• With such message flow, suppliers can get their supply ready for the next
delivery to meet the JIT production in the shortest possible time needed.

Solution 4
• In this database, the records show for a product, how long it will take for
the Manufacturing Plants to produce a specific quantity, and how long it
will take for the Transporters to deliver as shown in Table next
Logistic Optimisation within Australia
6. Instead, the Logistics Coordinator waits for the service providers to bid
with price.
Logistic Optimisation within Australia
• The Transporter Agents perform local optimization using their own data
on routes, schedules and consignments.
• the proposed solutions are based on open standards means that is inherently easy to
modify.
• designed to be flexible,
• Additionally, exposing functionality and data as services across the enterprise also
helps TMCA reduce overhead by eliminating the need for infrastructure duplication.
• the messaging-oriented nature of these solutions enables the team to link sales,
marketing, manufacturing, and financial applications in real-time, which improves
customer service by making up-to-the-minute information accessible across our value
chain.
• Therefore, the team strongly suggests the implementation of the integrated solution.
