hasnt your teacher given you the massive big booklet with everything about toyota in it? I think its from tutor2u.

here it is, your school should have ordered it for you. http://tutor2u.net/blog/index.php/business-studies/comments/edexcel-a2-business-unit-4a-toyota-case-study-toolkit/

if you dont have that you could just look at the january mark scheme
