Japanese term or phrase: 一貰

The phrase is 一貰した経営モデルを尊敬します (talking about Toyota and their comeback from bankruptcy).

I see it in some google hits, but I can't find the definition of this word anywhere.

Thank you for any help.

一貫

Explanation:
Mari, this is a mistake made by a scanner. It's actually 一貫. If you do a search you'll find several cases of the very common phrase 首尾一貫 written as 首尾一貰 (clearly a mistake). Please read as 一貫.

Thank you. This seems like the most likely possibility. I didn't think it would be 一貫 because I assumed it was typed, but I'm sure you're right. Thank you all.

一貰 all-encompassing, end-to-end

Explanation:
The trouble with "consistent" is that implies that other companies are inconsistent. 朝令暮改 aside, that is not a good thing to say.
