【讲座介绍】In this note, I bring together several old and new ideas to outline a vision for manufacturing in the globalized economy. We use examples from the auto industry to cover several topics and illustrate various concepts: New business metrics; research & development: developing benchmark models; testing, defects, and recalls: do not sell a car until it is fully road tested; reliability and durability; a new business model based on leasing and refurbishing cars: pursuing sustainability for profit; sustainability: first-mover advantage, keeping options open in the lab, and easy disassembly; community participation and sources of ideas for innovation; workers; suppliers; world-class dealerships and online marketing; and the Toyota crisis: its genesis, its impact on Toyota, its lessons, and opportunities for others.
