Abstract: Abstract In this introductory chapter (Chapter１), co-authored by Nohara, Medbo and Engström, we will explain several preconditions and the background informing the project that this book deals with. In addition, we will demonstrate the relationships between respective chapters and their abstracts. The co-authors of this book will make a comparative analysis of the Toyota Production System (TPS)Toyota Production System (TPS) and the Uddevalla Production SystemUddevalla Production System (UPS), Volvo (UPS). By comparing these production systems, we believe that this book can provide essential insights in the development of today’s production systems.
