This thesis explore how multinational corporations (MNCs) can develop their deployment strategies to add more value in the business by investigating (i) what constitutes deployment of a company-specific production system (XPS) program and (ii) how an XPS program promotes the transfer of lean-related knowledge. The qualitative research conducted was based on three empirical case studies, which all applied an intra-firm perspective within an MNC.
Discussion leader was Professor Lars Bengtsson from University in Gävle.
