Conjecture
Organisational routines are usually a benefit with no barrier, so not Power, though they fit how Toyota's system arose

Nelson and Winter's evolutionary routines fit how Toyota's production system arose, but routines are usually a benefit with no barrier and so do not yield Power; they become Power only in the rare case where hysteresis protects them.

usually such routines represent a benefit with no barrier, hence they do not result than power.
