AB  - The need to develop manufacturing strategies which are consistent
with and supportive of overall business strategies is now widely
accepted. A manufacturing audit approach which has been found useful in
the process of manufacturing strategy formulation is described. Within
manufacturing strategy, the need for a manufacturing audit is identified
and the current approaches to audit are reviewed. These existing
approaches do not provide an adequate audit process for use in strategy
formulation. A structured audit approach based on established frameworks
is developed and preliminary results of its use are presented. The
approach has been successfully used in several companies; however, there
is need for further work in looking at the social aspects of the
process.
