IntroductionManufacturing strategy (MS) has received a great deal of theoretical and anecdotal treatment for well over 20 years. At the time the reviews of MS literature were written by Anderson et al. [1] and Adam and Swamidass[2], empirical research was in its infancy. Although the quantity of empirical work has grown tremendously in the years since, researchers have still only begun to substantiate or refute theories developed over the past three decades. This article examines the work in each of the major areas of MS by comparing and contrasting empirical studies to the propositions set forth by earlier writers. For each area, the adequacy of existing research and problems inherent to the types of research accomplished to date is discussed. Finally, conclusions are drawn about the present state of manufacturing strategy research and recommendations are made for future research directions.

“…Further support for the existence of trade-offs between different performance areas was provided by Hayes and Wheelwright (1984), Richardson et al (1985), Rosenfield et al (1985), Fine and Hax (1985) and Wacker (1987). These authors refined Skinner's original ideas and identified the following main performance areas between which trade-offs might be expected to exist:…”

This report presents the preliminary findings of a research study to determine the factors which enable a manufacturing plant to simultaneously achieve high labour productivity, fast, reliable delivery and high quality consistency. The conclusions are based on analysis of a database containing details of 953 manufacturing plants in the UK. Based on the performance measures mentioned above, a composite performance measure was calculated for each plant in the database. The plants were then divided into groups of high performers, medium performers and low performers. Using statistical analysis, those differences between the high and lowperforming plants that were significant were identified. The main factors differentiating highperforming plants from the rest were those associated with low process variability, high schedule stability and more reliable deliveries by suppliers.

“…In a make-to-stock industry, for example, the order-to-delivery time depends on the positioning of finished goods inventories in the logistics network and it is a criteria as important as cost for the evaluation of network designs. The non-dominated designs are located on an efficient-frontier^ and any of these designs could constitute a good solution for a firm (Rosenfield, 1985). Figure 9.1 illustrates the cost accumulation process and the impact of inventory positioning on customer delivery times for a simple multi-echelon (stage) supply chain.…”
