ABSTRACT
A solution developed using the process of reductionist thinking is just like creating a blueprint that never changes. The ultimate goal of applying Breakthrough Thinking is the creation of living solutions, which means flexibility in our response to our ever-changing conditions. Ultimately the goal is to reach the ideal future solution in this timeline. Toyota focused its thinking habits on continuous improvement and this became its inherent appetite. Its ultimate and ideal state is to eliminate all setup and changeover work and drive it down to zero. The practice of wringing the water out of a dry rag has always been an inherent part of Toyota's thinking habits. The first technology needed as Toyota pursues its ideal future solutions is artificial intelligence. Toyota has clearly changed its stance in its pursuit of ideal future solutions with these relationships. Another critical technology toward Toyota's ideal future vehicle solutions is the computerized car.
