Abstract: Abstract Based on the findings of my case study research on Japanese manufacturers engaged in cell production, in the previous chapter, I attempted to generalize their manufacturing activities and presented propositions on the relations between management practices and manufacturing performance. In spite of my efforts to explore these relations using case study research, my work had limitations: (1) the inability of case study research to assess how much these management practices affected manufacturing performance and to estimate the effects and (2) the lack of hard evidence in my work to validate the efficacy of identified management practices irrespective of the manufacturing system or strategies adopted.
