Abstract
There is a need for a unified theory of the strategic management ofmanufacturing. Current theory encourages the strategic management ofmanufacturing by seeking to match the use of production resources withthe need to satisfy the order winning criteria of the target markets.Such an approach suggests but one strategic role of manufacturing. Thepurpose of this article is to use previous research findings on ataxonomy of generic manufacturing strategies, the authors own researchand recently published academic theory to propose a unified theory ofstrategic manufacturing management. The theory links competitivestrategy with four strategic roles of manufacturing. A strategicplanning model is proposed to facilitate the preparation of adevelopment plan which will not only enable manufacturing to support thecompetitive strategy of the firm but also to establish a strategy formanufacturingled competitive advantage.
