Productividad, automotriz, factoresAbstract
Currently, there are 10 leading countries in the automotive industry worldwide, which produce 75.2 million motor vehicles, this represents 78.68% of the total. The countries that are in the first 5 countries that lead the top of the largest automotive producers worldwide are China, the United States, Japan, India and Germany. The automotive industry manufactures 95.6 million motor vehicles. Mexico's production has increased by 152% from 1999 to 2018. In the last 11 years, Mexico has been part of the elite group of the first 10 automotive producing countries worldwide and although it has advanced positions in the table of world producers, it has achieved reach number 6, but has not managed to place itself among the first 5. This research will be aimed at making a comparison between relevant productivity factors in Japan and Mexico.Downloads
