| Abstract: | The Toyota/GM joint venture, NUMMI, and Volvo's Uddevalla plant represent two different ways of organizing the labour intensive production of standardized products, in this case, auto assembly. NUMMI is based on the Japanese lean production model, whereas Uddevalla has been called a human centered model. Which model can best stimulate continuous improvement while maintaining worker morale? The authors argue that the answer is, emphatically NUMMI. |
