Alternative Models of Production
Author(s)Appelbaum, Eileen; Batt, Rosemary
AbstractThe breakdown of the mass production model in the industrialized countries has given rise to a number of alternative models of industrial organization. In an effort to help U.S. firms catch up with these new organizational innovations, a comparison is presented of the four leading alternatives to mass production developed by other industrialized economies: Swedish sociotechnical systems, Japanese lean production, Italian flexible specialization, and German diversified quality production.
