5. Have a well defined group compensation system in
place before implementation.
Pay system has to achieve behavioral changes that
impact bottom line business results.
Manage new pay system.
Include indirects in your compensation scheme.
Set non-monetary reward systems as well.
AIM IS TO IMPLEMENT
LEAN – COMPENSATION
6. IT’S OLD SYSTEM - THE PRODUCTIVITY BONUS
BASED ON GROUP LEVEL
Under toyota’s wage system, productivity bonuses
constitute half of a worker’s monthly salary, and although it
is called a “bonus” it is in reality part of the standard wages.
This bonus thus reflects an assessment of the worker’s
performance.
Toyota calculates the productivity of each section every
month, and this becomes the raw data for the bonuses.
The calculation are so complicated that even the managers
don’t understand these figures
This system was very effective in forcing each other group
to compete against other
An employee pay is depended on productivity of his section
7. CHANGING TO NEW PAY SYSTEM……..
INDIVIDUAL LEVEL
Toyota changed its wage deal:
earlier the productivity bonus traditionally
accounted for 50% to 60% of total salary,
then
It reduced to 40% in 1990.
Again reduced to 20% in 1992.
As a result competition has begun to occur on
individual rather than group level.
8. HOW TOYOTA MOTIVATES ITS WORKERS
i. Agreed to guarantee lifetime employment for employees
ii. Developed a system of internal promotion
iii. Provides a pay scale based on three components of company
profitability
1. One bonus based on seniority - not job classification
2. Another bonus payment related to team’s performance
3. Additional bonus payment allocated to worker’s merit
4. Wage would increase from 85% to 115% from amount allocated
In return, Toyota employees are constantly committed to making
improvements rather than just responding to problem.
9. Good relationship and team work resulted in
increased efficiency and a higher level of
production
Many employees hung out after hours
contributing ideas
about reorganizing and improving production
Of 860,000 ideas, 94% adopted
