Abstract
Daewoo Shipbuilding and Heavy Machinery rescued its plant from the labor riots of 1987 to make it, by 1994, to be the fastest improving shipyard in the world. With its competition in Korea making huge investments in additional capacity in anticipation of the end of the recession, Daewoo instead has to decide if its strategy of continuous investment can provide the needed capacity.; Addresses manufacturing improvement strategies and plant management. In addition, it looks at the interaction between "step-change" improvement and continuous improvement.
