Abstract: | A hybrid of its Japanese and American parents, NUMMI provides a case study of the siccessful introduction of a new production system. By working on the assembly line in the NUMMI plant and interviewing hundreds of people, the authors observe the transformation of an 'out of date' General Motors auto plant into the world class assembly operation it is today. Their study has implications for other organizations that are trying to learn from each other. Their findings also show how organizational culture plays a central role in companies that are adapting to a constantly changing environment. |
