Internal and External Factors Influencing Management
Two of the Toyota Production System 's philosophies are "Daily improvements" and "Good Thinking. Good Products" (Toyota Motor Corporation, 2010). Recently, Toyota has faced a mass recall. There are several external and internal factors to consider as Toyota 's management reevaluates and reformulates its four functions: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling.

Planning is a decision making process that incorporates a cycle in which outcomes are analyzed, evaluated, and revised. More specifically, internal and external factors can impact the function of planning more often than none. When evaluating the planning with Toyota and their various recalls, the sources management needs to focus on are clearly their customer 's safety and further their satisfaction. These external sources will bring Toyota 's management back to the first function of management, which is planning.
"With more than 9 million cars covered under its latest recall, Toyota 's management is certainly under the microscope.

Their plan of alerting customers through the dealers and through the Internet is a primary example of effective management. Customers can enter the vehicle identification number on their website to immediately determine if their autos are one of
