Microarray spot-signals were analyzed using the GenePix Pro v.6.0.1 software and flagged according to build-in quality criteria.
A central aim of lean production is to achieve built in quality and avoid costly repairs after end assembly.
The distorted complementarities with the Andon system and the overarching principle of built in quality was further exacerbated by the elimination of the team leader position in the late 1990s (Shimizu 2004).
Our analysis will focus on the most central principles of lean production, i.e., built in quality, and trace internal complementarities among organizational design choices made in manufacturing, supplier management, and human resources.
It is important to note that Andon was more than a mere technical device but a micro-element that supported the central principle of the Toyota Way, i.e., built in quality (Spear and Bowen 1999).
Andon ensured built in quality and was complementary with other organizational design choices such as the decentralization of decision rights, worker's training and career systems, and supplier development activities.
Changing these organizational choices mis-matched the other attributes of Toyota's existing lean configuration, and specifically the operational choice of Andon, leading to the worsening of built in quality and manufacturing performance.
Further, complementarities with Andon and the overarching principle of built in quality are created through other design choice in HRM, i.e., life-time employment and internal career paths that were linked to continous skill formation for team leaders and workers.
The elaborate choreography for the title tune, the long takes and uninterrupted screen time given to the other numbers, and the musical pacing the rock 'n' roll builds in quality and intensity all show an indigenous appreciation of Presley's rock 'n' Roll".
