Moreover, the seat is slimmer achieving a more sophisticated and sleek design that enhances the high-grade sporty atmosphere. The seat is created utilizing the “Foam In Place Method” where urethane is directly injected into seat covers that have been placed inside metal molds and then the foam sets to the intended shape. Compared to conventional methods of attaching seat covers to pre-formed foam, the Foam In Place Method creates shapes that are ideal for ensuring a comfortable ride and achieves high-quality design. Moreover, this method can be used with fabric, genuine leather and man-made material to create a wide variety of desired shapes. In its pursuit to provide a comfortable ride that makes the rider feel as if they are one with the car, Toyota Boshoku has developed sports seats that are installed in racecars and sports cars. Here on out Toyota Boshoku will continue to apply the knowledge it acquired through the development of sports seats to achieve pinnacle seat performance, and proactively provide appealing seat proposals to our customers around the world.

Acknowledgements: The research on which this study is based would not have been possible without the generous cooperation of managers, workers and union officials at NUMMI. Gary Robinson helped transcribe taped interviews with them and discern the key points. This article has benefitted from the comments of several NUMMI people and from the responses of many friends and colleagues: Chris Argyris, Joel Beinin, Christian Berggren, Bob Brenner, Clair Brown, El Buffa, Bob Cole, John Ettlie, Steve Frenkel, Don Gerwin, Meg Graham, Jan Hopland, Sandy Jacoby, Ed Lawler, Ann Majchrzak, Ruth Milkman, Michael Reich, Dick Scott, Bill Simon, David Stern, Steve Wheelwright, Bob Sutton, Lowell Turner, and Stephen Wood. My thinking has also been stimulated by the reaction of colleagues to presentations at the USC, Harvard Business School, NYU, UCLA, and UC Berkeley.
