Abstract

I would like to start by pointing out that I strongly disagree with the statement above. In this essay, I am going to give evidence to support my view. I will define some major japanese forms of operations management and discuss their advantages and disadvantages to organizations in order to give a brief idea about the japanese forms of operations management. I will also examine the main reasons why japanese operations management is appropriate to western organizations along with some examples. Moreover, I will talk about drawbacks from applying japanese operations management to western organizations.

There are many forms of japanese operations management, the first one I would like to discuss is lean production.
