New wave manufacturing strategies: Operational, organizational and human dimensions

Abstract

Claims that existing literature on concepts such as lean production, just‐in‐time, and total quality management theory fails to address adequately critical aspects of the organizational realities of such innovations. Presents a new concept called “new wave manufacturing” in order to embrace the entirety of the development of these concepts. Assesses key distinguishing features, outlines prerequisites and social arrangements required. Finally, sets out research agenda consequent to the analysis.
