Summary:
"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. Jeffrey Rothfeder digs deep into
Honda
's culture, management, and global strategy to find what makes the
company
tick. 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 high level
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"--Provided by publisher.
