Abstract
The tremendous success of the Japanese manufacturing sector in the 1980s led to a deluge of research focusing on Japanese manufacturing methods. Particularly, total quality management and just-in-time production methods have been touted as primary contributors to the low-cost, high-quality products that allowed Japanese manufacturers to penetrate major markets in the U.S., as well as globally.
