In the report titled “Design and Manufacturing Methodologies,” Japanese management and manufacturing methods are examined and compared with Warfield's Interactive Management process, with the recommendation that in spite of the success of the Japanese management tools, Warfield's IM process was superior and should replace other methods. The forerunner of the report was a Ford technical report titled "Development of End-User Access Tools to the Science of Design," January 1992. John revised the technical report to make it suitable for a general audience, removing specific references to Ford activities and personnel and giving it a new title and preface. John's revision was printed as an IASIS report, (February 1992) and later as a TIPP Working Paper, (March 1992) titled “Design and Manufacturing Methodologies.” Two years later the same material in these reports was used as Chapter 14 in Handbook of Interactive Management, 1994 by Warfield & Cardenas.
