Background
Toyota was founded in 1926 By Sakichi Toyoda.
Toyota cars are sold in more than 170 countries.
Employs more than 320.808
The leader in Environmental Technologies with the hybrid model Pruis hybrid and Camry hybrid
Advantages of of TMS’s new decentralized IS structure?
New-found partnership emerging between IT department and the business units.
Save cost through control over overhead costs (IT, IS, Communication Cost).
Disadvantages of TMS’s new decentralized structure?
Increased infrastructure overhead.
Difficult for TMS to maintain consistent unit standards and data organization.
Duplication of support staff.
TMS’s New Decentralized Structure
Creating 18 projects
Selecting the performing employees (DIOs)
Allocating each project to DIOs
DIOs are now official ACCOUNTABLE for their projects

How does it affect Project success or failure? Analysis
A more common configuration is a decentralized architecture . The hardware,
software, networking, and data are arranged in a way that distributes the processing and
functionality between multiple small computers, servers, and devices and they rely
heavily on a network to connect them together. Typically, a decentralized architecture
uses numerous servers, often located in different physical locations, at the backbone of
the infrastructure, called a server-based architecture .

Conclusion
A decentralized strategy requires from TMS to invest in a web based architecture
DIO will be accountable for their projects
higher ODDS for Project success More profits Top Management will be happy
