Manufacturing Priorities

Purpose This paper aims to assess the impact of 2008 recession (Great Recession)-led environmental turbulence on the manufacturing small and medium enterprise (SME) sector and its related competitive priorities. Design/methodology/approach A mixed methods research strategy, consisting of a survey of 104 manufacturing SMEs located in the UK, complemented by 17 in-depth interviews with senior management representatives from this survey group. Findings Senior managers have prompted a realignment of competitive manufacturing priorities accounting for external financial and market conditions. Differing competitive priorities post-recession are given to various areas of manufacturing decision-making, the greatest impact being on manufacturing costs. Manufacturing flexibility, performance in meeting customer deliveries and enhancing supplier selection are merited to increase priority with relatively little change for process technology, quality and environmental practices. Research limitations/implications The sample of survey participants was relatively small, therefore prohibiting an assessment of differences in competitive priorities by sub-sectors of manufacturing SMEs. This was offset by a healthy number of informative, in-depth interviews that provided a richness of examples and insight into the shifting priorities for the sector. Practical implications Clear priorities have emerged around reducing manufacturing costs, being more flexible in manufacturing and improving outward performance relating to customers and suppliers. Originality/value This builds on established manufacturing strategy constructs and points to necessary competitive priority realignment focused on the performance areas listed above.

Nowadays, researchers’ study on DMI more focus on the influence of DMI to new products or new products development, Few focus on the influence to the manufacturing performance in manufacturing enterprises. Especially it lacks empirical research on how DMI’s various activities influence manufacturing performance and how interact on each other between them. Based on the theoretical analysis on DMI, this paper analyzes the correlations between horizontal organizational integration, design integration, technological integration and the relation between them and manufacturing performance, provides the hypothesis, and carries out the empirical research on 150 enterprises in china in 2009’s International Manufacturing Strategy Survey, it turned out that horizontal organizational integration, design integration between design and manufacturing departments have positive promoting effect on technological integration. Horizontal organizational integration, design integration and technological integration have positive promoting effect on manufacturing performance. Technological integration plays mediating effect between horizontal organizational integration and manufacturing performance. Technological integration plays mediating effect between design integration and manufacturing performance.

This study examines manufacturing capabilities from the perspective of resource-based view of the firm. It explores the role and capabilities in manufacturing firms that cannot be easily duplicated. Such resources and capabilities in manufacturing firms are formed by employees’ internal learning based on cross training and suggestion system, external learning from customer and suppliers, and proprietary processes and equipment developed by the firms. Based on data from 38 manufacturing firms in East Java, the paper empirically demonstrated that competitive advantage in manufacturing result from proprietary processes and equipment which, in turn, is driven by external and internal learning. In other words this study found that (1). Greater internal learning leads to more proprietary processes and equipment. (2) Greater internal learning leads to more proprietary processes and equipment (3). Greater proprietary process and equipment leads to higher competitive manufacturing performance. (4). The alignment between proprietary process and equipment and the manufacturing strategy leads to maximum competitive advantage.

Sol-gel processing has been used to control the structure of a material on a nanometer scale in preparing advanced ceramics and glasses. Film coating using the sol-gel process was also found to be a viable process technology in applications such as optical, porous, antireflection and hard coatings. In this study, organically modified silicate (Ormosil) coatings are applied to PET films for various industrial applications. Sol-gel materials are known to exhibit nanometer scale structures which havepreviously been characterized by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), neutron scattering and light scattering. Imaging of the ultrafine sol-gel structures has also been performed using an ultrahigh resolution replica/TEM technique. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ultrafine structures inthe sol gel coatings using a direct imaging technique: atomic force microscopy (AFM). In addition, correlation of microstructures with processing parameters, coating density and other physical properties will be discussed.The materials evaluated are organically modified silicate coatings on PET film substrates. Refractive index measurement by the prism coupling method was used to assess density of the sol-gel coating.AFM imaging was performed on a Nanoscope III AFM (by Digital Instruments) using constant force mode. Solgel coating samples coated with a thin layer of Ft (by ion beam sputtering) were also examined by STM in order to confirm the structures observed in the contact type AFM. In addition, to compare the previous results, sol-gel powder samples were also prepared by ultrasonication followed by Pt/Au shadowing and examined using a JEOL 100CX TEM.
