AB  - Manufacturing strategy needs to be appropriate to the needs of the
organization acceptable to all employees, and capable of subsequent
renewal by management. To achieve this, attention needs to be paid not
only to the objectives and framework of the manufacturing strategy, but
also to the processes through which the manufacturing strategy is
formulated, implemented, and adapted. Argues that these processes are
essentially iterative passing through a series of cycles in response to
a changing set of conditions. Whilst education and training issues are
central to these processes, little research has been carried out. Puts
forward one possible approach to dealing with these issues where
education and training are handled by analysts external to the
organization. This temporary resource or “locum” team works
with the organization to achieve the ultimate aim of managers being able
to formulate, implement, and review their own manufacturing strategy.
This is achieved by helping managers to formulate a manufacturing
strategy, providing guidance to them to implement the strategy and
setting up monitoring and review mechanisms.
