well, with non-capitalist forms of production. non- or post-
whatever that second may turn out to be. though it is the case that there are already lots of ways of making stuff that are way beyond the classical long production runs of standardized commodities that was the paradigmatic older capitalist organization. toyota-ism is well past that--adaptable heads at the center of assembly lines, quality teams...not like the ford model. but still capitalist. back in the day, the usual counter-point to toyota was udivalla (spelling?) which was a volvo factory that embedded into its organization hybrid autonomist/social democratic features that resulted in a very different culture than did mutant kanban.
