Abstract When designing a production system to meet the company desires, the desire of the workers should also be considered. A survey at the Toyota Tsutsumi plant indicated that workers wanted enlarged/enriched jobs. The jobs were enlarged/enriched through a system of cross-training and job rotation. Productivity and quality were improved.
