There are a few books and research papers that deal with this subject.
Almost yearly scholarly research papers ranks automobile manufacturing plants ( foundry, machining, assembly ) Auto manufacturers are just as interested in the research - I think the detailed conclusions are only sold/shared to manufacturers exclusively.
Widely accessible books that either skim or detail the subject: The Toyota Way, Notes From Toyota-Land, Lean Thinking, The Machine That Changed the World - The Story of Lean Production. The latter book was seminal and at the time was described as in the possession of all the auto CEO's.
