译文： 日本的汽车制造商们 选择 去进行 小规模生产 ［其之所以成为可能是/因为通过引入几种 （与美国的惯例）不同的方案 ，［包括使用 （能够被很容易地改变来完成几种不同的制造任务的）通用设备 和 训练 （能够做多种工作的）工人/。

解释： chose的宾语是一个延伸到句尾的不定式。不定式中的宾语small-lot production 被feasible by所修饰，by的宾语又是一个动名词。注意： 动名词中的宾语departure不是通常所说的“离开，启程”的意思；当它与from连用时，是指与……不一样的方法、策略、操作等等，就等同于divergence：a deviation from a course or standard。including之后的内容是修饰departure的，其中被复杂修饰了的两个宾语由and 相连接。
