Do supervisory inputs matter in a capital-intensive industry? some evidence from a Japanese car transplant

Article Abstract:

A model was developed to assess the implications of supervisory inputs in a capital intensive industry. Results show that supervisory time inputs are significant, with increasing time inputs directly affecting line productivity, both in training and actual production. Another result showed an assymetrical relation to time inputs and productivity, when supervisory time inputs are placed away from from the production line, such as when dealing with customers and suppliers.
