For most manufacturers, the need to maintain or improve financial performance is urgent. This is leading many companies to close manufacturing facilities and either move production operations offshore to low-cost countries or to outsource manufacturing to other companies. However, many other manufacturers are surviving and thriving in North America, Europe, Japan, and other high-cost countries.

Effective manufacturing improvement projects – focused on areas of urgent business need – are a critical component to these manufacturers’ success.
