Résumé

Why is it that some manufacturing firms perform better than others' There's no doubt that manufacturing firms need to change in order to sustain corporate success and a competitive edge. Manufacturing the Future shows both why and how manufacturing firms need to move away from traditional, unsuccessful approaches to become enlightened, successful outfits. An essential read for all levels of management in manufacturing firms, this book offers a radically different, strategically oriented approach to manufacturing. A highly effective strategy for the future.

Many manufacturing firms fail in their aspirations to become "lean", "flexible", and "world-class" not because they are incompetent but because they miss out on key, strategic ingredients that enable outstanding capabilities to be put in place. These capabilities do not come about by chance but follow on from an enlightened approach to manufacturing. This enlightened approach includes employing senior level manufacturing staff who are involved in the business of the plant and are not just employed for their technical expertise. But in an age when manufacturing managers are inundated with "three letter" approaches to manufacturing best practice (JIT, TQM, MRP, etc.) these same managers have forgotten about the fundamental role that manufacturing plays in business strategy.
