An empirical investigation of the antecedents and consequences of manufacturing goal achievement in North American, European and Pan Pacific firms
Article Abstract:
Variation in manufacturing strategy was noted among manufacturing firms located in North American, European and Pan Pacific regions. A sample of 576 manufacturing companies revealed that variation in manufacturing strategy results as manufacturing firms in North American, European and Pan Pacific regions undertake different manufacturing goals. A conceptual model that illustrate the linkage between business strategy, manufacturing strategy, manufacturing competence, antecedents and outcomes of manufacturing competence was validated in three geographical regions.

World class manufacturing: an investigation of Hayes and Wheelwright's foundation
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to examine the viability of R.H. Hayes and S.C. Wheelwright's world class manufacturing concepts. Possible synergies and tradeoffs in the manufacturing concepts were examined. Results indicated the robustness of the practices advocated by Hayes and Wheelwright. These practices have promoted a foundation for the use of novel manufacturing practices related to competitive performance.
