| Abstract: | Up to now manufacturing companies have to choose between three generic strategies: pursuing a cost leadership strategy involving mass production, adopting a differentiation strategy to obtain higher revenues across a segment, or focusing on a single niche well removed from the main segment. Now this choice can be avoided. To do this we have the concept of agile manufacturing. The intention is to be able to offer almost instant delivery of small quantities of goods with an individual specification. To many the concept may seem fanciful, but companies have already achieved it. |
