entre empr<strong>es</strong>as no reduzcan la competencia. Por tanto,<strong>es</strong> d<strong>es</strong>cartable que las consejerías cruzadas tengancomo motivación la creación de monopolios. Salvo<strong>es</strong>ta peculiaridad, el modelo de organizacióneconómica <strong>es</strong>pañol tiene las características propiasde un modelo continental, en el que no son los bancos,sino las empr<strong>es</strong>as privatizadas, quien<strong>es</strong> tienen lamayor centralidad en la red. Comparando <strong>es</strong>tos r<strong>es</strong>ultadoscon los de Aguilera, cabe concluir que losbancos <strong>es</strong>pañol<strong>es</strong> abandonan progr<strong>es</strong>ivamente elmodelo de banco universal, para centrarse en la actividadcomercial. Pero no hay que olvidar que los r<strong>es</strong>ultadosde <strong>es</strong>te <strong>es</strong>tudio son una fotografía de unmodelo en evolución. En el futuro, cabe <strong>es</strong>perar unacentralidad aún menor de las entidad<strong>es</strong> bancarias (LaCaixa, única entidad bancaria con un grupo industrialvisible en la red, ha manif<strong>es</strong>tado su intención de vendersus participacion<strong>es</strong> industrial<strong>es</strong> en breve), y unaevolución aún incierta, pero dinámica, del sectorenergético. De la evolución futura de las empr<strong>es</strong>asprivatizadas depende que España adopte finalmenteun modelo anglosajón de organización económica, opersistan trazas del actual modelo continental.7.

To this end, the empirical r<strong>es</strong>earch willconsist of the d<strong>es</strong>cription of the r<strong>es</strong>ults obtained in 11industrial compani<strong>es</strong> from the automotive componentsindustry. In each of the compani<strong>es</strong>, we have followed updifferent interventions over a 9-12 month period. W<strong>es</strong>hall pr<strong>es</strong>ent the initial situation; the activiti<strong>es</strong> carriedout by the company and the evolution of the manufacturingperformance approximately three months afterthe activiti<strong>es</strong> are finished. This will enable us to draw favourableconclusions on th<strong>es</strong>e interventions and we shalldiscuss the degree of congruence with previous r<strong>es</strong>earchon the subject.Key words: Human r<strong>es</strong>ourc<strong>es</strong>, productivity and competitiven<strong>es</strong>s,continuous improvement.1. IntroductionCurrently, most automobile manufacturers havetransformed their philosophy of production in favourof the lean production paradigm. By doing so, theyhope to improve efficiency and to obtain better r<strong>es</strong>ultsin the markets in which they operate. This transformationmust occur not only in the plants, but itseems important that first tier suppliers should alsomodify their production systems in line with the leanproduction philosophy Liker y Wu (2000). In thefuture, the effects of this wave will probably also reachsecond level suppliers, with the r<strong>es</strong>ult that oneintegrated supply chain can be built.Neverthel<strong>es</strong>s, in the interventions that we have carriedout in recent years in the automobile auxiliary industry,we have been able to observe that the suppliers compani<strong>es</strong>are still not convinced of the profitability of leansystems, in spite of the favourable opinions expr<strong>es</strong>sedin scientific publications. One of the main reasonsis that they lack information and clear exampl<strong>es</strong> relatedto their activiti<strong>es</strong>. For the supplier company managers,the fact that lean production is a succ<strong>es</strong>s in automobilemanufacturers do<strong>es</strong> not guarantee, from theoutset, that they too will have this succ<strong>es</strong>s.Moreover, for the supplier compani<strong>es</strong> there is noqu<strong>es</strong>tion that the advance towards lean productionrequir<strong>es</strong> inv<strong>es</strong>tments, not just in faciliti<strong>es</strong> but also inworker training and time to develop the improvements.They are also aware that the way is not freeof risks, such as the loss of the buffer provided bystocks or the greater pr<strong>es</strong>sure on workers, amongothers. Some of th<strong>es</strong>e risks have been discussed inrecent r<strong>es</strong>earch Cooney (2002), Fairris (2002).On the other hand, in the academic world it is consideredthat certain management actions in humanNº 35
