Examines the controversial Japanese model of "lean production" and its impact on work and workers in the global auto industry by comparing claims of this new "humanized" process against available shop-floor evidence from around the world. Includes a variety of perspectives on how the promise of worker empowerment might actually be realized in the auto factory. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
