(Manufacturing companies, and the nation as a whole, are n...)
Manufacturing companies, and the nation as a whole, are now paying a very high price because they have ignored productivity for solong. Available capital, physical facilities, and human resources-our productive capacity-are not being used effectively. Our failure by misusing productive capacity translates into a squeeze on profits, high competitive pressure from foreign companies, falling capital investment, and unprecedented inflation. For many years management has discussed productivity. Still, few have taken meaningful action. Harry Appleby and Mike Donovan have written this management briefing in an effort to develop an awareness of techniques that can have a significant impact on productivity through planning and controlling manufacturing resources.
