Abstract:
|
The case looks at how Kaizen was adopted by Toyota Motor Corporation to improve
productivity and efficiency in its production systems. The case examines in
detail the labor crisis faced by Toyota in the early 1990s and how the company
used Kaizen to modify its assembly line and wage systems in order to make them
human friendly. The case also details the concept of Kaizen and the
pre-requisites for its successful implementation in an organization.
