6.1.8.3 Task Management Team Activities (Tasks 3 and 4)
After conrming the eectiveness of task team activities, the activities evolved
into task management team activities within and across divisions (Task 3 and
Task 4) (1992–1995). For instance, the R&D divisions unfolded Science SQC
in Figure 6.6. As indicated by (5) a study on the estimation of vehicle lift char-
acteristics (Amasaka et al., 1996a), they enhanced the speed of development by
improving the accuracy of computer-aided engineering (CAE) estimation. e
activities to solve these important engineering issues took place on a divisional
