It has been suggested that "lean production" is the best way for the car makers to implement a productive organization in order to provide consumers with the variety of products. The authors disagree with this and aim to demonstrate why it is not so.
Introduction: product variety, productive organization and industrial models. Part 1 Pathways to flexible mass production: GM and the evolving industrial organization of American automobile manufacturing in the interwar years; product variety in the French automobile industry - a look through the past; the progressive emergence of product variety in the Japanese automobile industry; the historical evolution of product variety in the auto industry - an international comparative study. Part 2 Alternative flexible production systems for product variety: beyond flexibility - Toyota's robust process-flow architecture; a flexible organization for mini-lot production - the emergence of mini car makers in Japan; developments in assembly system design - the volvo experience; flexibility through modularity - experiments with fractal production in Brazil and in Europe. Part 3 Managing flexible production systems: capability building and over-adaptation - a case of "fat design" in the Japanese auto industry; supplier relations and performance in Europe, Japan and the US -the effect of the voice/exit choice; concurrent engineering and industrial learning - a comparison of French and Japanese component suppliers; the production, distribution, and repair of automobiles - new relationships and new competencies; inter-firm relationships and industrial models.
