The Experience of Manufacturing Firms with the Implementation of Different Production Philosophies: A United States Survey

Abstract

Despite few studies on the production philosophies of Time-based Competition and Fast Decision Process, speed of response has become paramount for many US firms that recognize this as a key to gaining competitive advantage. The study involved Indiana manufacturing firms that had experience with one or more production philosophies. A questionnaire was constructed seeking both demographic as well as specific production information. The survey was sent to 1500 manufacturing firms and the usable response rate was approximately 33%. Extrapolation of infonnation of the survey allowed for the formation of usable statistical information in table form. Factor analytic models were created and used as predictive models to determine group associations.
