Teams at NUMMI

Chapter Chapter 5 in Teamwork in the Automobile Industry, 1999, pp 126-150 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This paper analyses the team-based organisation of work at one auto plant in order to gain insight into the antecedents and consequences of this increasingly common form of organisation. My investigation is framed by two puzzling findings, one concerning the prevalence of teamwork in the US economy as a whole, and the other concerning its prevalence in the auto industry. Close analysis of the latter will help clarify the former.
