The Toyota Production System and art
The Toyota Production System has led to a movement of 'lean production' focused on taking waste out of value streams. Most applications have been to high volume, and relatively standardized products. Under this system work becomes highly standardized specifying to the second what the operator should do. Buffers are precisely sized and controlled through various types of pull signals. When possible, use of one-piece flow cells result in a complete…
Perspectives on Technology and Work Organization
This chapter summarizes and synthesizes some major perspectives on the relationship between technology and the nature of work. Given the complexity of technology and its impacts, the chapter elucidates different perspectives on this topic rather than summaries of detailed findings in a particular area of technology. The central thesis of the chapter is a follows: Technology's impact on work is contingent on a broad set of factors, including the r…
Who Controls the Technology in Group Support Systems? Determinants and Consequences
Student groups completed a rank-ordering task in a "low-structure" computerized meeting room where all group members had equal access to a shared computer with a large monitor. Strategies used by the groups to distribute control over the public monitor, determinants of which members took control, and the consequences of control strategies were examined. Groups adopted either a dedicated-scribe strategy, in which one member had control throughout …
Winners and losers
This paper reports an unusual opportunity to explore the range of reactions that a company's technological transformation aroused in its workforce. Based on tape recordings of interviews conducted with 56 of the 141 employees, individuals were categorized on the basis of their perception of proportion of personal gains to losses: 21 were identified as winners, 17 as losers, and 18 as sideliners. Concurrently, researchers independently rated the j…
Panel data and models of change
Economic Hardship and Marital Relations in the 1930s
Economic stress in families and lives represent interdependent, problem areas, although most work to date has ignored this critical relationship. Consistent with Burgess's concept of the family, as a unity of interacting personalities, a life course perspective on family development attends to the complex interaction of individual personalities and emergent social patterns in family change. With longitudinal data from the Berkeley Guidance panel,…

Analyzing sequential categorical data on dyadic interaction
Department of Human Developmentand Family Studies, Cornell UniversityRecent theoretical developments emphasize that social interactions are dynamicand reciprocal, and this has led to widespread use of time-series data on behaviorin two-person systems. In principle, such data allow one to separate the influencesof two actors on each other, Statistical methods currently being used, however,are deficient in several respects. In this article, we show…
Hard Times in Women's Lives
Economic change represents a major theoretical source of changing health states in populations and among individuals. The most impressive empirical documentation of this link at the aggregate level has come from time-series analyses. Studies at the individual level have begun to specify the causal elements in such relations, with emphasis on the variable health outcomes of economic deprivation. Specifying the duration of effect, however, requires…

Under this system work becomes highly standardized specifying to the second what the operator should do. Buffers are precisely sized and controlled through various types of pull signals.
