AB  - Manufacturing strategy has become a subject of increasing
importance to practice and research. It involves two elements: content
and process. The content of manufacturing strategy has recently received
considerable attention. The process of manufacturing strategy has not
received the same level of emphasis. There is little prescriptive
literature on the subject, and even less literature of an empirical
nature. It is argued that effective manufacturing strategy is
inseparable from an effective process for the development of
manufacturing strategy. This article provides some beginnings with
regard to the process of manufacturing strategy by (1) exploring and
drawing out concepts and methodologies in existing literature which can
contribute to the process of manufacturing strategy, (2) reporting on an
empirical study of the process of manufacturing strategy involving 53
manufacturing executives within organisations primarily from the midwest
region of the USA, and (3) developing implications for future practice
and research.
