Abstract
Comparisons of western manufacturing management with Japanese methods have highlighted a number of differences between them. But a comparison of earlier western ideas about manufacturing shows remarkable similarities between the two. Henry Ford′s ideas and practices show many features seen in contemporary Japanese approaches. Ford, in the period from 1908 through the late 1920s, relied on a number of progressive and radical methods in manufacturing management; methods that were similar to the current Japanese methods.
