Abstract
Corporate strategy affects manufacturing goals and processes. Manufacturing must pay attention to the cost, time, and quality factors that go into production. Trade-offs in efficiency, cost and productivity become necessary in pursuing specific markets. As a result, product quality suffers. Computer specialists have replaced efficiency experts as the reigning technical experts in manufacturing. Top management shies away from both of these technical areas. Companies must develop and use a management policy for manufacturing.
