日本語: 日本：トヨタのカンバン方式、人間にも...

A post by blogger boiledema [ja], offering an alternative perspective on the background of Tomohiro Kato, offender in Sunday's Akiba massacre, has drawn a huge reaction, with over 1200 bookmarks [ja] on Hatena. boiledema suggests that Toyota's system of Kanban production is being applied to human beings, through unstable short-term employment, leading to extreme isolation. Tomohiro Kato worked as a temp employee at a factory under Toyota, although boiledema emphasizes that isolation cannot justify Kato's crime.
