Article Abstract:

A survey conducted by the Boston University indicates that US manufacturers find it difficult to respond accordingly to changes in markets and customer behavior despite better factory performance. Consumers and retailers are also looking for an optimum combination of quality, service and value. The US manufacturers are being forced to intensify their operations abroad because of the weak domestic market. Environmental issues related to manufacturing are also major factors in the emerging global competition.
