There has been considerable sometime acrimonious debate about theissue of the continuousimprovement protagonists view and theoldfashioned manufacturing strategy view of the nature and extent oftradeoffs between manufacturing performancecharacteristics. Seeks to explore the argument from both sides, startingfrom the necessity for major transformations in the performance ofmanufacturing systems over the next few years the challenge oftransformation. Explores the characteristics ofWorldclass Manufacturing and examines the relevance oftradeoffs in detail through casestudy illustrations. Develops abalanced view which argues that, while certain tradeoffs have beenrendered irrelevant by market pressures and expectations, others havenot and remain the key to the choice of technology, process andorganization within the manufacturing mix.
