Toyota es conocida por ser una empresa automotriz exitosa en base a su sistema de producción y reducción de costos. Cuando se analiza en profundidad a la empresa, la evolución de la compañía no deja de sorprender. Desde una perspectiva económica, se analiza la incidencia de la Filosofía "Lean" y sus principios fundamentales en el modelo sistémico organizacional presentes en Toyota. Este estudio comprende tanto los efectos positivos generados por el modelo Toyota en sus tres niveles de estructura organizacional, como los aspectos negativos colaterales generados por la estrategia corporativa de la empresa. La conjunción de estos efectos origina una disminución integral de costos de transacción que redunda en efectos económicos positivos, hecho que no ha sido considerado adecuadamente por quienes creen que el éxito de Toyota es solo el efecto de reducción de stocks del exitoso sistema JIT.
