Small-Lot Production: Key to High Productivity and Quality in Japanese Auto Manufacturing (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book delves into the innovative production methods of Japanese automakers, revealing how they revolutionized the industry. It examines the contributions of key companies like Nissan and Toyota, tracing their evolution from the challenges they faced after World War II to their rise as global leaders. The author argues that Japanese manufacturers achieved unprecedented levels of productivity and quality by adapting and improving American and European techniques to meet their unique needs, such as the demand for diverse products in small volumes. Through a fascinating exploration of specific practices like "just-in-time" production and the "kanban" system, this book sheds light on the strategies that enabled Japanese automakers to surpass their Western counterparts and establish new standards of efficiency and excellence in the automotive industry.
