Strategic Manufacturing Management

The economic interdependence among
developing and established industrialized
nations, and the disintegration of barriers
to the flow of capital, information and
technology across national borders facilitates
international market integration and
globalization. These market conditions
force manufacturing companies to seriously
consider the strategies they need to implement
if they are to develop competitive advantages.
Very often the strategies that are executed
will result in a sustained competitive
advantage through which a firm becomes
leaner, more flexible, and more focused on
providing cost-effective goods and services to
sophisticated customers. This book provides
manufacturing business strategies to assist
companies to meet those requirements.
