商品描述

How the partnership between Ford and the UAW, forged through more than fifty pivotal events, transformed their capacity to combine good jobs with high performance.

In 2009, the Ford Motor Company was the only one of the Big Three automakers not to take the federal bailout package. How did Ford remain standing when its competitors were brought to their knees? It was a gutsy decision, but it didn't happen in isolation. The United Auto Workers joined with Ford to make this possible--not only in 2009, but in a series of more than fifty pivotal events during three decades that add up to a transformation that simultaneously values work and delivers results.

The pivotal events--some planned and some unplanned; some at the facility level and some at the enterprise level -were not all successful. All had the potential, however, to further the transformation, and all provide insight into how large-scale system change really happens. The authors--each with years of experience with Ford, the UAW, and the industry--provide an unprecedented inside look at how core operating assumptions are shifted and at the emergence of integrated operating systems for quality, safety, and other aspects of the enterprise. It is a transformation built on a foundation of dignity and mutual respect, guided by a vision of combining good jobs with high performance.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

福特與美國汽車工人聯合會(UAW)之間的夥伴關係,透過五十多個關鍵事件的鍛造,改變了他們結合良好工作與高效能的能力。

在2009年,福特汽車公司是三大汽車製造商中唯一沒有接受聯邦救助計畫的公司。當競爭對手被迫屈膝時,福特是如何保持穩定的?這是一個勇敢的決定,但並非孤立發生。美國汽車工人聯合會與福特攜手合作,使這一切成為可能——不僅是在2009年,而是在三十年間的一系列五十多個關鍵事件中,這些事件共同促成了一種同時重視工作的轉變並交付成果的模式。

這些關鍵事件——有些是計劃好的,有些則是意外發生的;有些在工廠層面,有些在企業層面——並非全部成功。然而,所有事件都有潛力進一步推動轉變,並提供了對大規模系統變革如何真正發生的洞見。作者們——每位在福特、UAW及行業中擁有多年經驗——提供了前所未有的內部視角,展示了核心運營假設如何被改變,以及質量、安全和企業其他方面的綜合運營系統如何出現。這是一種建立在尊嚴和相互尊重基礎上的轉變,受到結合良好工作與高效能的願景指導。
