Research Abstract

In the Toyota production system (JIT) 'multi-function workers' differ to the original meaning of 'skilled workers'. Here, 'multi-function workers' means the adaptive capacity to achieve many tasks in a short time such as one minute.
Moreover, 'multi-function workers' are strictly, instructed by the 'standard operations routine' in regards to work procedures, time to be taken and work quotas in their given tasks. This is in content a form of 'Super Taylorism'. Therefor, it can be seen that the meaning of QWL in the Japanese production system is limitted.
I am learning about these problem for two years. These research putted the book as "The Japanese Production System and Flexibility of the Labor Process" (1995, Nihonsyoron)
