General Motors (GM) attempted to adapt the renowned Toyota production system for its automotive manufacturing plants, but the results were historically disappointing. This book aims to shed insights into GM's failed attempt by analyzing work organization reforms and labor-management relations on production-system efficiency. The book examines collective bargaining agreements between automakers and the United Auto Workers union and the arbitration rulings in retrospect to highlight the critical role of continuous improvement activities initiated by production workers in enhancing performance management. It also explores the impact of the meritocratic system in Japanese auto plants on performance success. As GM begins operations at its new electric vehicle assembly plant, Factory Zero, the book analyzes the challenges of such production for both employment relations and workforce deployment. The book will be a valuable resource for those interested in a comparative study of management styles and a deeper understanding of Japanese manufacturing practices.
