Abstract

The purpose of this article is to clarify reorganization process of production system in the metal mold industry in the first half of the high growth era. In the preceding literature has mainly focused on the positive investment in the metal mold manufacture of this period, and overlooked the shift of the production system which played on important role for the development of this industry. Therefore, this paper focused on the metal mold industry of Tokyo, and examined reorganization of production system.<br>In the metal mold industry at the high-growth period, the shift from comprehensive controI production system to segment control production system has advanced rapidly. The expansion of the mold market caused the shortage of skilled labor. Because it took time to promote skilled labor, it was difficult in comprehensive control production system correspond to the expansion. Therefore, the system of production system that did not need the skilled labor was pursued in the metal mold industry. And, the aggressive capital investment in the latter half of the 1950's had big influence on the shift of the system. The introduction of a special machine and new and powerful equipment enabled the dismantlement of the skilled labor. As a result, the production process was divided, and the skilled labor came to be concentrated on the processes which required the high skilled labor.<br>Thus, the metal mold manufacturing at the high-growth period had reorganized the system of production flexibly with the problem. In addition the productivity of this system was higher than the comprehensive control production system. Therefore, in this article, it is confirmed the expansion of the mold market led the reorganization of the production system which resulted in the high productivity.
