Download or read book Planning, Supply Chain Management and Technology as Factors Contributing to the Success of Small Manufacturing Companies written by Gregory M. Willard and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The American economy consists of over 236 million people whose material needs are satisfied by approximately 6 million business enterprises. Most of these enterprises are small independently owned and operated establishments. In the manufacturing industries only slightly more than 1/10 of 1 percent of the total number of firms employ more than 2500 people. Of all manufacturing concerns, 67 percent have employment of fewer than 20 people. Of the total number of business firms of all kinds it is estimated that 96 percent employ less than 50 people. It becomes apparent that small manufacturing business plays a vital role in both the American and global economy. In addition to providing a significant source of employment, individuals within these small business units provide the major source of new ideas and inventions and help to preserve competition and the system of free, independent enterprise in the United States. There is however, one disturbing fact about a small business, and that [is] there is a historically low success rate. A study of the success rate of manufacturing companies, which measures their ability to maintain independence over extended periods, is only 20 percent. This paper investigates the small business environment including, the entrepreneurial style of the owners, and the strategic planning and thinking that may contribute to this low success rate. The challenges of the Global Market Place, changes in customer demands, and supplier relationships are reviewed in the context of their role in the success of the business. The role of information technology and the adaptation strategies employed by small manufacturers is also discussed. An analysis of the business planning practices of small manufacturing companies is conducted through a survey of members of the Tooling and Manufacturing Association. It is intended that small manufacturing companies find the results of the analysis useful as a model to identify where they are as compared to other companies in a similar industry. The process holds the possibility of identifying the importance of planning and the integral role of information technology in increasing the success rate of small manufacturing companies"--Abstract.

This book was released on 2000-03-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The managed flow of goods and information from raw material to final sale also known as a "supply chain" affects everythingâ€"from the U.S. gross domestic product to where you can buy your jeans. The nature of a company's supply chain has a significant effect on its success or failureâ€"as in the success of Dell Computer's make-to-order system and the failure of General Motor's vertical integration during the 1998 United Auto Workers strike. Supply Chain Integration looks at this crucial component of business at a time when product design, manufacture, and delivery are changing radically and globally. This book explores the benefits of continuously improving the relationship between the firm, its suppliers, and its customers to ensure the highest added value. This book identifies the state-of-the-art developments that contribute to the success of vertical tiers of suppliers and relates these developments to the capabilities that small and medium-sized manufacturers must have to be viable participants in this system. Strategies for attaining these capabilities through manufacturing extension centers and other technical assistance providers at the national, state, and local level are suggested. This book identifies action steps for small and medium-sized manufacturersâ€"the "seed corn" of business start-up and developmentâ€"to improve supply chain management. The book examines supply chain models from consultant firms, universities, manufacturers, and associations. Topics include the roles of suppliers and other supply chain participants, the rise of outsourcing, the importance of information management, the natural tension between buyer and seller, sources of assistance to small and medium-sized firms, and a host of other issues. Supply Chain Integration will be of interest to industry policymakers, economists, researchers, business leaders, and forward-thinking executives.

Book excerpt: To stay competitive and meet market expectations in a global economy, both domestic and foreign companies must realign their manufacturing processes, make improvements, and increase their manufacturing capabilities. With large numbers of employees working in a network of domestic and foreign facilities, production processes are as varied as the products being produced. Manufacturing managers need a manufacturing plan or strategy that will bring structure to this complex environment. In Manufacturing Strategy: How to Formulate and Implement a Winning Plan, 2nd Edition, John Miltenburg offers a sensible and systematic method to: (1) evaluate domestic and foreign factories and international manufacturing and (2) plan the appropriate manufacturing strategy to be first in the market. Incorporating comments and suggestions from managers who used the first edition of Manufacturing Strategy, John Miltenburg expands and improves on his focus in the areas of: International Manufacturing — where the focus is on a company's international network of factories; Competitive Strategy — where managers must understand the role manufacturing strategy plays in their company's business strategy; and Manufacturing Programs — showing how programs such as quality management, six sigma, agile manufacturing, and supply chain management fit within the manufacturing strategy. Manufacturing Strategy gives managers a common language for dealing with manufacturing problems at both strategic and operational levels. It improves communication between manufacturing managers and those outside manufacturing (who will now have a better understanding of what manufacturing can and cannot do).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concentrates on the strategic role and importance of production / operations, enabling the firm to be competitive in global markets. The first chapter, on strategic issues, provides an important framework for the rest of the book. Human resource management and new product development are given chapters of their own, and the chapter on manufacturing strategy provides an exhaustive discussion of key areas. Endorsements "There is no single text that I can think of which is as soundly written on the subject as this one. The perspective is clearly based on 20/20 vision, the toolkit is knowledgeably and freshly laid out and the supporting evidence described by a person obviously and freshly laid out and the supporting evidence described by a person obviously master of his subject." Dr Tom Mullen, Strathclyde Graduate Business School, University of Strathclyde "A timely book which is a step ahead of competing texts by demanding proper consideration be given to production and human resource operations in the top planners' inner sanctum. This text demonstrates how to achieve competitive and desired results. Strategy and tactics are rarely so thoroughly examined in a way to help the manager and employer alike to meet the new global challenge of the 21st century."
