Manufacturing and Technological Strategy

Abstract

Managing manufacturing in mature industries is considered in theory to be routine, with stable products, long runs, and well‐developed process technology. No theory could be less true these days, when the pressures on profit margins and for full‐capacity utilization, with a typically unionized work force and old equipment, make for a frantic scene.
