Times were changing. Unemployment was rising; unions were focussing more on job creation and employment than on quality of work. Globalization put pressure on homogenization of production processes. Volo got a new top management, after Pehr G. Gyllenhammar who had conceied the new factories in cooperation with unions. The bestselling book ‘Lean production’ (Womack et al) articulated and reinforced the ideology that there is just one best way and that no iable alternaties exist. Today the Kalmar plant is rented as a warehouse, and for ICT produc- tion. In the Uddealla plant Pininfarina with 800–900 employees produces a Volo conertible using a product flow assembly system. In the other half of the plant Volo Bus is welding space frames. But ideas of competitie and human-centred forms of industrial produc- tion are still alie and they are practiced in arious sectors. The Volo Kalmar and Uddealla production concepts are still used, by academics and practitioners alike, as reference points and as reminders of the possibility of alternaties with quality in both work and products. The print editions of Enriching Production were quickly sold out. In January 2007, as a result of the centre-right government’s decision to close Arbetslivsinstitutet/ Swedish National Institute for Working Life, we are organizing our archies and we found discs with the book. As there is still a demand we decided to prepare a digital edition, with no changes in the text, except this preface. Many thanks to Lena Karlsson for digital editing. Enriching Production was followed by a workshop and a special issue on ‘Good work and productivity’, in Economic and Industrial Democracy, Vol. 19, No 1, 1998. An indication of the topicality is a recent interiew with Pehr G. Gyllen- hammar in LO-tidningen, the journal of the Swedish Trade Union Con- federation (Sept. 15, 2006). Gyllenhammar expresses an understanding for strikes in industry after 1968, and he states that ‘companies must use the full potential of the employees, and the competitie adantage of good education, professional skills and an advanced form or work organization’. The basic idea is the same as when the Kalmar plant was planned 30 years ago, Gyllenhammar says: ‘Why should it be so damned boring to assemble a car, when eerybody loes to repair and tinker about with the same car in their spare time? It should be the other way around, delight and pride in producing the car.’ Stockholm in January 2007 Åke Sandberg Preface The background to this book is the closure of Volvo’s car assembly plant in Uddevalla in western Sweden. The fate of the plant, being a symbol for human-centred production, was debated by policy-makers and researchers around the world. The Swedish Institute for Work Life Research decided that the experiences of the plant should be gathered in a book with an in- ternational and comparative perspective. Cecilia Runnström has assisted me in the editorial work, and her work has been important for the realization of this book project. Fern Scott edited the English of all the chapters; also Aina Godenius and Ann-Britt Hellmark contributed here. Gary Newman and Axel Henriksson prepared the camera-ready copy. At the Institute director Anders L. Johansson and prof. Casten von Otter supported our work on the book during the whole process, and Iris Frank and Gudrun Hagberg helped with administrative tasks. Thank you all. Postscript. January 1995 As this book was on its way to the printers, Volvo announced its intention to develop convertible and coupe versions of its 850 model in cooperation with the British TWR and to produce them in the Uddevalla plant, applying its unique production concept. This is good news; the Uddevalla concept of teams assembling whole cars may be further developed and get a chance to show its potential in car production which, as suggested in this book, is increasingly consumer oriented. On the other hand, for production in longer series at the Swedish Tors- landa plant and at the Belgian Gent plant, Volvo has made the choice of another production concept: preassembly of modules (often with long job cycles) to be finally assembled on a line with a high degree of automation. As researchers argued in the debate, Volvo in fact not only made a reduction in capacity, but a strategic choice of production concept basically different from that of Uddevalla. But with the Uddevalla plant again as a point of reference, possibilities grow of developing human-oriented and productive production concepts, ‘enriching production’, also adapted for production in long series. There is not, as the authors on ‘lean production’ want us to believe, one single best work organization model. In the changing realities of industrial production, Uddevalla’s ‘enriching production’ remains an important con- tribution to future developments. Åke Sandberg vi The book and its authors This book discusses a pathbreaking effort to unite good jobs with produc- tivity in industry – Volvo’s innovative Uddevalla car assembly plant where competent workers in groups built complete cars during a short period of four years. The assembly line was not only broken, it was totally abandoned and the groups all worked in parallel independently of each other. The skilled work- ers were supported by advanced computer technology to guide the vehicles transporting components to the groups. Each car produced was destined to one specified customer. The plant started operation in 1989 and three years later the decision was made to close it down – together with the older Kalmar plant, the pioneer in breaking with line production. The authors of the book, a wide range of distinguished scholars of the field, analyze this experience in an international and comparative perspective. Enriching production The double goal of good jobs and productivity is the essence of what we want to call enriching production.

In order to underline and retain the exclusive character of these cars, they will be built in a very limited number. LUXURY Star of the action models is the Millionaire. This model, based on the 340 GLE 4-door sedan, is representative of what Volvo Car B.V. has to offer in the way of luxury, ride comfort and quality. Depending upon the market variant, an engraved plate will be mounted on the dashboard showing the serial number, the number of cars built in this limited series and the date of manufacture. While the standard specification provides for a 1.7-litre engine, this may vary from country to country. The exterior colour is smoke silver metallic with a special silver-grey striping. Equipment includes colour-matched bumpers and petrol filler cap, 13" alloy wheels, wide body side protection mouldings, padded head restraints at front and rear, a three-band radio/cassette unit with digital readout, two loudspeakers (one in each front door), central locking, electrically operated front door windows, a rev counter and oil pressure and temperature gauges.

  • Lean Production and the Toyota Production System ± Or, the Case of the Forgotten Production Concepts Ian Hampson University of New South Wales
    Lean Production and the Toyota Production System ± Or, the Case of the Forgotten Production Concepts Ian Hampson University of New South Wales Advocates and critics alike have accepted `lean' images of the Toyota production system. But certain production concepts that are integral to Toyota production system theory and practice actually impede `leanness'. The most important of these are the concepts of heijunka, or levelled (`balanced') production, and muri, or waste from overstressing machines and personnel. Actual Toyota production systems exist as a compromise between these concepts and the pursuit of leanness via kaizen. The compromise between these contrasting tendencies is in¯uenced by the ability of unions and other aspects of industrial relations regulation to counter practices such as short- notice overtime and `management by stress'. Introduction From the late 1980s, debate around work organization converged on the concept of `lean production' which was, according to its advocates, a `post-Fordist' system of work that is at once supremely ef®cient and yet `humane', even democratic (Kenney and Florida, 1988: 122; Adler, 1993; Mathews, 1991: 9, 21; 1988: 20, 23). How- ever, critical research found that, rather than being liberating, lean production can actually intensify work to the point where worker stress becomes a serious problem, because it generates constant improvements (kaizen) by applying stress and ®xing the breakdowns that result. It thus attracted such descriptions as `management by stress', `management by blame', `management by fear' (Parker and Slaughter, 1988; Sewell and Wilkinson, 1992; Dohse et al., 1985).

However, few discuss why some other emerging-economy firms do not develop sufficient technological capabilities, and thus, fail in domestics and global markets. Consequently, the understanding of emerging-economy firm diversity is limited. By analyzing the failure of three firms in two major industries in Turkey, this study identifies a complex set of factors contributing to this outcome. These factors include political risk, macroeconomic regime, national technology policies, and industry dynamics, as well as firm-related factors such as ownership, strategic intent, and the approach to, and current stage of, technology capability development. The results indicate that some of these factors support firm success in the short term but discourage learning and technological capability building, and thus, cause firm failures in the long term.

Targeted to capture an even larger slice of the hotly contested upper-medium car sector, the revised Volvo 440 and 460 models will be aiming to capitalise on UK sales successes which saw more than 23,000 sold in 1992. Softer, more rounded frontal styling and a new bonnet and grille design give the new Volvo 400 a family resemblance to the highly-acclaimed Volvo 850 series. New taillight treatment and an extended range of colours add to the changes, which are mirrored inside with revised dashboard and seat design, repositioned switchgear and improved equipment levels across the range.
