The Detroit model pushes for large-scale manufacturing with the goal of creating large inventories supported by demand estimates. StandardizationBoth companies have embraced the idea of ​​standardization of equipment, processes, and components. Early cars were individually custom built, using parts that only worked on that specific vehicle. Ford pushed for the use of interchangeable parts which would be achieved once all the individual parts of the car were made similarly each time. All individual parts of the car would fit into any other vehicle of a similar model. This standardization would allow the process to be divided into various phases. Workers are trained to specialize in a single step through the division of labor. Production Rate The Japanese model involves a continuous production system in which it is produced in quantities determined by consumer demand. There is no accumulation of finished inventory awaiting sale. The Detroit model, which is inefficient at best, predicts the production of goods at a uniform rate regardless of demand. This creates a huge supply of products in anticipation
