Competitive priorities of high and low performers in globalmanufacturing: results from GMRG 2008 dataProf. Lovorka Galetić, PhD, lgaletic@efzg.hr, tel. 0038512383264Jasna Prester, PhD, jprester@efzg.hr, tel. 0038512383261University of ZagrebFaculty of Business and EconomicsDepartment Organization and management10000 Zagreb, CroatiaAbstract:Based on a large scale manufacturing study pursued by members of Global ManufacturingResearch Group we aim to find answers on several questions. (1) do trade-offs between corecompetences still exist, (2) which best practices use best performers. We divided our sampleaccording to profit margin into three groups. We show that order of importance of competitivepriorities have changed since last researches. Through correlation analysis we showed that forhigh performers correlation between competitive priorities are extremely high (over 0,5)unlike the middle performers and unlike low performers who experience trade-offs betweencompetitive priorities. Finally we looked at used best practices and find the biggestdifferences in usage of Six sigma methodology, ISO 14000, cellular manufacturing, JIT andfinally factory automation. Our findings are in accordance with the integrative modeldescribed in Boyer and Lewis (2002, pp. 11).Keywords: Competitive priorities, manufacturing best practices, manufacturing~ 1 ~
Introduction:With intensified global competition, manufacturing facilities will, out of necessity, and eitherimplicitly or explicitly, develop competitive manufacturing strategies that naturally will meetwith varying degree of success. Manufacturing strategies are subject to change in response tocompetitive, dynamic markets and/or in response to change in corporate strategy (Noble,1997, pp. 85). With change of the manufacturing company’s environment or some internalchanges the manufacturing strategies will also change. In such a competitive scenariocompanies have to search for new processes, new materials, new vendors, new shop floordesign and new channels to deliver the product and services at a competitive price(Dangayach and Deshmukh, 2006, pp. 254). Today’s manufacturers can no longer viewthemselves as closed systems focused only on efficiency. They must operate as a customerfocused,yet technology-based open operational systems Gomes et al. (2006, pp. 144). Whatthe best performers do and which best practices or manufacturing procedures do they use?This is a serious question and Minnor et al. (1994) warns that such studies have to be doneperiodically especially because of changing environment. Minarro-Viseras et al. (2005, pp.152) warn that manufacturing core competences are a neglected topic and say that operationfunction is viewed as: “merely as a collection of resources and constraints. It was expected tofulfill, as efficiently as possible, the production targets generated by the marketing strategywithin the capacity and capital expenditure constraints imposed by the financial strategy”.Englyst (2007, pp.934) warns that manufacturing today has to be considered as a strategicissue because: “Two of the most notable challenges are increased levels of complexity anduncertainty, which cannot be ignored or reduced, but need to be addressed. This suggests adynamic systems view focusing on interdependencies and complementarities of roles andtasks within the manufacturing system. The increased global operation, both with respect tomarkets and supply, has broadened the scope of manufacturing. At the same time, the drasticreductions in product lifecycles and delivery times have eliminated inventories and, as aconsequence, have called for management of interdependencies among subsystems.” Wardand Duray (2000, pp. 123) prove that the relationship between competitive strategy andperformance is mediated by manufacturing strategy and they find no other study linkingcompetitive strategy and manufacturing strategy. Ahmad and Schroeder (2002, pp. 84)present an exploratory study on how manufacturing companies compete but warn that moreempirical research is needed for further understanding. Same argue (Dangayach and~ 2 ~
