| Tiivistelmä: | This research assesses changes in the supervisory role in the automobile industry. These changes take place in the transition from mass production to lean or just-in-time production. Noting the increased responsibility of the supervisor under lean production, the supervisors' enhanced status and authority are considered. A case study of an vehicle producer in the UK, involving interviews with 40 supervisors , draws out the structural and organizational difficulties faced by manufacturers in their attempts to reformulate the role of the supervisor. |
