What reading level is Japanese Industrial Relations in Transition book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Any work station makes only as many units as the next process downstream "pulls" from them, in contrast with a centralized computer system in which a master schedule is "pushed" down to all subordinate departments. The "pull" system minimizes in-process inventories as well as costs from unplanned in-process redundancies or shortages. Again, whether or not this system will work effectively depends on the sensitivity, coordination, and effectiveness of the workforce at the workshop.
Small lot pro
...duction is beneficial in the sense of preventing errors or defects from occurring in large numbers. Most Japanese plants which apply small lot production lay out production facilities in such a way as to take advantage of quick and effective feedback from the subsequent production stations to preceding ones to prevent the problem from occurring continuously or proliferating in subsequent production stages. Here again, human control plays a critical role in making the feedback effective.
As illustrated by this example, production management strategies which have developed in Japanese industry focused strongly on minimizing costs by eliminating redundancies and at the same time improving quality, taking advantage of the alertness, sensitivity, skill, and involvement of the workforce in carrying out production, and in improving the production process itself.
