| Tiivistelmä: | Some research findings are reported which help to overturn a common myth about the auto industry: that productivity and quality levels are determined by an assembly plant's location. In reality there exists a wide range of performance levels among Japanese, North American, and European plants. One of the studies of the global automobile industry within the MIT's International Motor Vehicle Program is described. According to its empirical results corporate parentage and culture do appear to be correlated with plant performance, the level of technology does not. Plants operating with a "lean" production policy are able to manufacture a wide range of models, yet maintain high levels of quality and productivity. |
