The management of production is faced with ever greater challenges
as global competion mounts. The problems revolve around the paradox
of flexibility and productivity in the organization of production:
how to compete on price while retaining the capability to respond
quickly to market changes how to develop new products faster
without jeopardizing product integrity how to increase quality
while reducing costs. The recent research on lean production has
explored some of these questions in the context of the motor
industry. This book takes a broader audit of these issues across
the full range of the metalworking sector in the United Kingdom.
Focusing on the engineering/manufacturing interface, the research
presented here explores how 15 leading British firms are facing up
to the challenges of the 90s. This book is intended for scholars
and researchers in organization studies, technology management,
computer-aided production, and management systems.
