4.0 out of 5 stars
Debunking some of the lean myth,
By
This review is from: The Myth of Japanese Efficiency: The World Car Industry in a Globalizing Age (Hardcover)
Quote from page 4 - "It will be argued that the assumption that Toyota and other Japanese car assemblers led a break from 'Fordist' mass production of standardized models is historically counterfactual, and that this branch of manufacturing history has been subject to a collective process of fictionalization..."
The author very carefully disassembles the main premise of Womak & co's book "The machine that changed the world". He goes further to debunk Womak and Jones book "Lean Thinking". While the main thrust is to show that critical claims led by Womak and co are historically inaccurate, the author fell short in several areas that show have been addressed while he was debunking his two central targets (hence only 4 stars). |
