NUMMI featured on This American Life

Post by ColonelPanic »

They posted a brief preview on their Facebook page today for an upcoming program about NUMMI. Quote »Upcoming: "NUMMI." The story of a car plant in California that might have saved the U.S. car industry, if only Detroit had been quicker to learn its lessons. In 1984, General Motors and Toyota opened NUMMI as a joint venture, building cars with Japanese quality and GM workers and supervisors. So what went wrong?Should be airing this weekend, I believe - find your local NPR affiliate, check their schedule and tune in! If you're not a regular listener, this is one of the best programs on radio (if you ask me!) Podcasts are usually available sometime on Sundays. http://www.thislife.org/
