Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Designed for learning : a tale of two auto plants

Notas: Sumario: The Toyota-General Motors joint venture and Volvo's Uddevalla Plant represent two different ways of organizing, the labor-intensive production of standardized products, in this case, auto assembly. The Toyota-General Motors joint venture 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, the New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. (NUMMI) plant in CaliforniaRegistros relacionados: En: Sloan management review. - Boulder. - Spring 1993 ; p. 85-94Materia / lugar / evento: Toyota-General Motors Volvo Sistemas de producción Fábricas de automóviles Diseño de sistemas Productividad Formación Organización del trabajo Casos prácticos Otros autores: Cole, Robert E.
