There is no more preferential tax rate, and the cost of wages, energy keep increasing, RMB revaluation , all of the reason make Taiwan base factory is no longer has any production advantage in China. This company not only faces the increase of labor costs , at the same time, also sense the market trend become products needs to be many kinds of choice but with very little small quantity demand. US customers transfer orders to other OEM factories. In such difficult situation, it is very necessary and urgent that organization needs to have some policy reforms. This study aims a company with Toyota production system background, to discuss the process and performance after running Toyota production system, as well as the implementation of the Toyota Production System to employees. With regards to the method in which we conduct our research for this study, we have questionnaire to employees who work in a PP manufacturer factory, this study conducted hierarchical regression and logistic regression analyses to verify the connection between the benefit acknowledge of running Toyota Production System and organization commitment, as well as the result if employees have different acceptance level of running Toyota Production System. The results of this study found that it can build a positive organization commitment if staffs can understand more about the Toyota Production System, which means, if employees agree and accept it is helpful for organization to running the Toyota Production System, there will be higher organization commitment. Secondary, base on the accept level of TPS, there will be a moderating effect by benefit acknowledge of running Toyota Production System and organization commitment. When employees has positive attitude for reforms, it can encourage employees to participate the reforms process, has positive impact on employees the organizational commitment appropriate. Based on the above findings, this study suggests that the process of change, people is the most difficult part to control, and the success of organizational change usually requires employee’ accept and support.
