The purpose of this study is to examine practical difficulties of modularization of the European automotive industry. Chapter 2 presents realities and actual effects of modularization of the automotive industry. In this chapter, I present the background of modularization in European OEM, for example, DC and VW, and the specific endeavor for modularization at MCC Hambach. In the end of this chapter, I present a hypothesis that, in fact, it is likely that the modularization of European automotive industry is not match for the Japanese cooperative OEM-supplier relationship, although the original intent of modularization of European automotive industry is to introduce the Japanese cooperative OEM-supplier relationship to their own industry. Chapter 3 presents the underlying assumptions of this study. These assumptions are based upon Wenger [1998] which attempts to apply the theory of situated learning to organizations. In this chapter, I state the necessity of approaching work practices in terms of the "KAIZEN" activities. Chapter 4 presents a case of factory-A implementing the module manufacturing system in Europe. In this chapter, I pay attention to the way of manufacturing activities, price contracts, meetings and "KAIZEN" activities. OEM-tire 1 supplier collaboration is necessary in these activities. I also state some problems arising in practice. In chapter 5, I discuss the OEM-supplier relationship in detail, intending to compare and contrast the European way with the Japanese way, especially, that of Toyota. In this chapter, I present the results of our survey showing that factory-A takes different ways from the Japanese in terms of the OEM-supplier contract and the leadership of an OEM to its suppliers. Finally, presenting the problems of the European way of transactions and contracts that I have specified, I state the necessity to keep know-how of technology and cost of automotive parts, and then state a future direction of this study.
