The Volvo Experience: Alternatives to Lean Production in the Swedish Auto Industry Book

This text provides an evaluation of the re-organization of work within the Swedish auto industry, from the early 1970s to 1990. The Volvo experience is commonly invoked in the discussion of "new production concepts"; the English literature on this experience has been limited. The analysis of the Swedish case is through a critique of the "Japanese model", as well as an analysis of worker participation and working conditions in plants with different production design and organizational structures. With the emphasis on human-centred organizations, this book stands as a rebuttal to the "lean production" fad now sweeping the Western manufacturing industries.Read More
