It seems that Toyota of the 2000's tried to be GM of the 90s and vice versa (focusing on marketshare and costcutting). Toyota definitely needs to reduce the number of partnerships they have or bring better control and oversight to their partners. I just read last week that several of their partners were no where close to the inspection and testing regimen they agreed to when Toyota contracted with them and Toyota was shocked by this. Seems like they should have a pretty firm grip on what's going on through their contracted suppliers.
