Abstract
Manufacturing has gone through periods of great changes time and again. New materials, new information and production technologies, new planning and control techniques, and new bases for competition have all contributed to these changes. In recent years, global competition, more demanding customers, economic liberalization, more stringent regulations on environment, emergence of common markets, disintegration of large States, etc. have added to the complexity of managing manufacturing firms. To address these new complexities, computer aided automation, flexibility management, strategic alliances, management of end-to-end business processes, especially supply chain and new product development processes, are particularly important.
