A journalist's inside look at what makes Honda the most
consistently innovative and effective automaker In recent years
Toyota has received more than its fair share of attention for its
?lean? manufacturing model, its sales triumphs, and its infamous
recalls. But when it comes to consistent excellence, archrival
Honda is more admirable, and more interesting. Award-winning
journalist Jeffrey Rothfeder digs deep into Honda's culture,
management, and global strategy to find what makes the company
tick. He offers a behind-the-scenes look at its revolutionary
factory in Lincoln, Alabama, a paradigm of Honda's unique flexible
manufacturing system. At Lincoln, several different types of cars
can be produced on a single assembly line any given hour, and the
compact plant manufactures up to 300,000 vehicles and engines a
year, making it one of the world's most productive. Drawing on
access to dozens of highlevel Honda executives, Rothfeder
identifies the three core principles that every Honda employee
shares, and shows how the company's flexible manufacturing model,
unique supply chain management techniques, and unorthodox (and
contentious) daily brainstorming meetings are just a few keys to
its success. Rothfeder makes a convincing case that Honda should
serve as the model for a manufacturing rebirth in America.
