Chapter 6 in The Hybrid Factory in Europe, 2004, pp 119-134 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Japanese plants in Germany are not only different from those in the UK and Continental Europe, but are also unique in their hybridization pattern, with features leaning towards ‘Results’ both of ‘Human’ and ‘Material’ results in terms of the four-perspective evaluation. This suggests that it has not been easy to transfer Japanese systems into that country. However it does not mean that there is no place for production activities by Japanese firms. The question of how and what types of production management would make it possible for Japanese manufacturers to survive in Germany is the main focus of this chapter.
