But because of the rise of China and some other reasons, Taiwan’s bicycle industry once facing a desperate situation of offshore migration in 1990. But because the establish of the bicycle industry “A-Team” through the execution of competition strategy, ally with the competitor vendor, turn crisis into a chance. Not only staying in Taiwan, expand their investment, but because the use of Toyota Production System, it increase the international competitiveness of Taiwan’s bicycle industry. On the other hand, it also shaped Taiwan into the production base of developing advanced bicycle, not only become the model of domestic enterprises, but also become the imitation object of other many industries. This research use literature like “Resource theory”, “Toyota Production System” and “Industry Clusters” to discuss the form of A-Team and the concept of cluster network, and by interviewing three A-Team member companies, we can analyze the effect of Toyota management, and then stable the status of Taiwan bicycle industry in the international area. Through these three propositions we found that through actual operation of A-Team, Taiwan bicycle assembly factory combine with their component factory to build a trust relationship between both. Also, by using the Toyota management, we successfully increase the production efficiency, eliminate the waste, decrease the lead time before delivery, and thereby greatly increase the international competitiveness of making advanced product of Taiwan. Also, the future is leaning toward an AI industry era, if we are going to implement the promotion of industry4.0, we need to have intelligent machinery first, intelligent production is not only increasing the reliability of intelligent machinery and precision, but also the intensive manage on management, therefore we can achieve intelligent production. How to apply Toyota Production System to big data cloud, and create customer value again, this is the problem we need to face in the future.
