Re: The software factory (was "Don't believe the hype?") (long)
Toyota brings new car models to market in half the time that it takes GM and
Ford. They have done so for decades. They do so because they have a superior
design process. It is far more sophisticated and complex that simply giving
people resources and a deadline and letting them get on with it.
Toyota also gives their line workers red-button control. They can stop the line when they need to. And the Japanese aout industry poineered the concept of line workers having a *general* knowledge of the product they produce. And the Japanese CEO/Worker differential is nowhere near the differential in America. There are many, many factors that contribute to the Toyota success.
