to learn the lean manufacturing system pioneered by Toyota
Explanation:
The main reason for this strategic alliance was in order for General Motors to learn the lean manufacturing system pioneered by Toyota. The lean manufacturing system is a methodology derived from Toyota's 1930 operating model "The Toyota Way" which focuses on minimizing waste within manufacturing systems while at the same time being able to maximize productivity. This provides a great benefit to any manufacturing company, hence why General Motors was interested.
Opportunity costs are very important costs to look at because they help a company know if they are picking the best alternative available to them.
Out-of-pocket costs are also quite important because the company needs to know if there is a chance that they will have to pay for special features in the project that are not part of the original project but need to be paid for anyway as these monies come out of the cash reserve.
Incremental costs focus on the additional costs involved in a project and so are very important. When making a decision for processing a good further for instance, management needs to know if the incremental cost will be covered by the extra profit that will be gained.
