Abstract
In the midst of the rapid advancement of globalization–worldwide quality competition, Japanese manufacturers are struggling to realize the simultaneous achievement of QCD (quality, cost, and delivery), reduction in product development periods, assurance of high quality, and production at low cost. It can be said that they are truly facing an era of new manufacturing in the process of simultaneous achievement of QCD. In recent years, the management issue in the Japanese automobile industry playing a key role in Japanese manufacturing is worldwide uniform quality and simultaneous production launch, in response to current globalization. To realize this, it is vital to reinforce Japanese-style partnering, or Japan Supply Chain Management, between automobile manufacturers and parts suppliers. Against this background, this chapter creates and verifies the effectiveness of Partnering Performance Measurement Model (PPMM) for automobile assembly makers and suppliers.
