SummaryWhat is the next production frontier? The author argues that it is operating factories as learning "laboratories." These are complex organizational ecosystems that integrate problem solving, internal knowledge, innovation and experimentation, and external information. Chaparral Steel is the model example, and the experiences of its managers and employees are used throughout the article to show how the learning laboratory works. |
