6The Toyota Way Principle 11 Respect your
extended network of partners and suppliers by
challenging them and helping them improve.
7Part of the Aligned Business Framework agreement
includes a commitment by Ford to phase in
up-front payments for engineering and
development costs substantial investments the
supplier previously had to shoulder until a part
or component system was launched. The up-front
money comes with a condition suppliers must
commit to bring their leading-edge technology to
Ford first. The promise is a critical part of
the automakers strategy that will enable it to
bring more innovative products to its customers.
