seen by a number of practitioners and researchers as the latest attempt to construct an alternative to Taylorism and lean production. Advocates of the high performance workplace (HPW) argue that it places greater emphasis on skill acquisition‚ opportunities to utilise skills‚ employee involvement and influence than lean work places. Appelbaum et al. (2000)‚ in their US-based study‚ report evidence of a positive correlation between HPW and job satisfaction. Ramsay et al. (2000)‚ however‚ found

Corporation first proposed Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing systems. Some years later‚ through its assembly with Kaizen‚ Total Quality Management‚ Total Productive Maintenance‚ Cellular Manufacturing and Six Sigma this would lead to the emergence of the Lean Manufacturing production system‚ which focuses mainly on the elimination of waste with the purpose of achieving more with less (Ballard‚ 2003). It has been widely acknowledged that to become a lean organization there is a need to introduce a new management

According to “Reference for Business” Lean methodology is Westernized version of Japanese Just-In-Time system‚ where both of these systems share mostly the same characteristics and goals‚ and often used interchangeably. Whereas there are similarities between these two methodologies‚ there are also principal differences between them.
