This book describes why, for the past twenty-five years, Japanese
productivity has been growing more rapidly than productivity in the
U.S. Unlike other books on the subject of the Japanese success in
manufacturing, it looks at what actually happens in factories. The
author brings his experience of working at the Yanagicho Works of
the Toshiba Corporation, in Kawasaki City. Like so many Japanese
factories, this one is highly productive, efficient, and flexible.
While the factory is ordinary looking on the outside, its workers
are anything but ordinary as they constantly strive to improve the
way they work and the quality of the products they produce. The key
to this is the continuous creation and application of knowledge
throughout the factory, from workers on the shop floor, to research
and development engineers, to top management. Fruin explains how
Japanese culture and religion prepare workers for their role in
this process of creating and disseminating knowledge.
