| dc.description.abstract | In the automotive industry, Saturn and NUMMI are often touted as
exemplars of successful implementation of manufacturing employee
involvement. Building on data and extended on-site interviews, this paper
explores the differences between the approaches taken at each plant and the
relationship between worker involvement and plant performance. Based on this
comparison, we offer a model to assess the fit between employee involvement
activity emphasis (product development vs. operations improvement) and
timescale of the involvement process. | en |
