Toyota’s TuRD down the gurgler

Toyota’s Japan Racing program, against Ford’s FPV, Holden’s HSV, Toyota Racing Development’s affectionately know in Australia as a TURD, with reference to excrement (but more

appropriately the extra vowel can signify Unrelated), as there is no relation to it’s Japanese arm, and this is where the trouble begins.

Toyota ‘outsourced’ it engine developments to a company called Prodrive. In a cost cutting exercise, Prodrive ‘cut corners’ and produced an inferior product.

The whole point of ‘outsourcing’ is to denounce liability once things go ‘boom’, and that’s what Toyota did. BUT it was too late, since the customers bought the product from Toyota, and they BLAMED Toyota, and rightly so.

Although in this particular example this (outsourcing) pertains to the Motoring industry, the same applies to all others, especially Information Technology.

Toyota ‘outsourced’ their I.T services to IBM GSA, but as a result paid many times more for the services that if they were done in-house. BUT the politics of globalization is to ‘outsource’.

Toyota’s marketing department could have chosen an acronym with a more promising future, than a TuRD.

The ‘fish & chip*’ shop managers that were responsible for the ‘outsourcing’ of TRD should be sacked and put on the rice fields.

*- incompetent managers that could barely run a fish and chip shop.

IBM GSA has been known to employ substandard / unqualified personnel as they are cheaper that the qualified one with more experience.
