Generic manufacturing strategies and plant performance
研究了通用制造策略与运营目标的一致性对工厂绩效（成本、质量、交付、灵活性、创新）的影响，基于多国多行业数据发现两者匹配能提升绩效。
Abstract This study examines the effects of the fit between generic manufacturing strategies (GMS) and manufacturing objectives upon strategically relevant plant level performance outcomes (e.g. cost‐efficiency, quality, delivery, flexibility, and innovation). The proposition that plants with generic manufacturing strategies that are consistent (fit) with operational objectives will experience relatively higher levels of performance than others is tested using data from multiple countries and industries. A simultaneous estimation analysis revealed significant relationships between generic manufacturing strategies and plant performance, when accounting for operational objectives and while controlling for country, industry, and size effects.
