Can Japanese management techniques be successfully applied to American firms? What are the ramifications of trying to bring Japanese management to American factories? Japanese management techniques received a great deal of attention during the 1970s and 1980s, and a number of American companies, including HewlettPackard, sought to use these tactics with American workers. Heralded at first as an answer to failing American competitiveness, a longer range view of Japanese management with American workers has shown that there are unanticipated problems that can arise. Toyota and General Motors operate a plant in Fremont, California as a joint venture. The plant, called NUMMI, provides an excellent example of Japanese management techniques transplanted to an American work environment. Japanese management techniques involve an organization-wide appro
