Manufacturing Strategic Planning
回顾制造战略文献，分析其优缺点，提出基于战略制造举措（SMI）的动态规划框架，帮助管理者制定有效的SMI组合，并与长期规划衔接。
This article reviews the existing literature on manufacturing strategy, explores its strengths and weaknesses, and proposes a new, more dynamic, planning framework. The new approach is based on the concept of strategic manufacturing initiatives (SMIs). SMIs are major manufacturing efforts that seek improvement over a specified time period; they include both quantitative goals and specific milestones. The article describes a planning process that managers can use to develop an effective mix of SMIs for their organizations. It begins with the overall business strategy and progresses through four stages of distillation or filtering. The article concludes with recommendations on how best to link SMIs with long-term planning.
