Restoring the Competitive Edge in U.S. Manufacturing

Abstract

The single most important explanation for the decline in the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing is management's view of the role of the manufacturing function. Restoring our competitive edge requires a basic change in the philosophy, perspective, and approach of American companies toward manufacturing. This article examines the traditional U.S. view of manufacturing and describes how it needs to be changed.
