General Motors (GM)'s attempt to adapt the renowned Toyota
production system for its own automotive manufacturing plants had
historically produced disappointing results. Why was it not
sufficiently successful? This book aims to shed insights into GM's
failed attempt through the analysis of work organization reforms
and labor-management relations on production-system efficiency. The
book examines collective bargaining agreements between automakers
and the United Auto Workers union and the arbitration rulings in
retrospect to illuminate the critical role continuous improvement
activities initiated by production workers would play in enhancing
performance management. It also looks at the impact of the
meritocratic system in Japanese auto plants on performance success.
As GM begins operations at its new electric vehicle assembly plant,
Factory Zero, the book analyses the challenges of such production
for both employment relations and workforce deployment. The book
will be a useful reference for those interested in a comparative
study of management styles and a better understanding of Japanese
manufacturing practices.
