Abstract
Some manufacturers have sited their factories in urban areas, others prefer to have them dispersed in rural areas. They should consider carefully how they should operate from their chosen locations. Factories of both types are discussed and suggestions are made for dealing with various matters, and for what corporations or factories should do in the 21st century. The NKK Corporation and Kirin Brewery Co. Ltd are described as examples of factories or plants located in urban areas and the Hoshizaki Electric Co. Ltd as a good example of a factory located in a rural area.
