The book traces the evolution of manufacturing management along two lines: that pioneered by Henry Ford, then furthered by Toyota to its modern level of success; versus that originated by Alfred Sloan and others at General Motors still in practice in most American companies today. The latter system of management proves to be the underlying cause of the current failure of American manufacturing to compete.
