Description
Over the past decade, many companies have adopted new strategies for manufacturing, which have taken their competitiveness on to new planes. A whole array of initiatives, such as FMS, JIT, TQM, CIM, and MRP II, have been introduced. This book deals with the far-reaching significance of these new approaches - collectively labelled "new wave manufacturing".
Considerable research evidence as well as practitioners' own experiences make one crucial point time and time again. The organizational as well as the human resource management aspects of these new strategies are critical to their success or failure. The underlying theme which is tackled in this book, therefore, is to what extent do these new operational strategies require a matching set of organizational and HR strategies?
By looking at the issues through the joint eyes of production and behavioural analysts, this book provides an unique introduction to the new developments in manufacturing as well as providing an up-to-date assessment of the organizational and H R dimensions to these methods.
New Wave Manufacturing Strategies has a vision which goes beyond the "new technology"/advanced manufacturing technology discussions.
The chapters have been written in a clear, accessible manner by leading experts from Europe, the USA and Australia as well as from the UK.

Reviews / Votes
`Overall, the chapters are well-written and the editor has done an excellent job of commissioning the chapters from leading experts in their respective fields. The chapters are clear and accessible state-of-the-art reviews and absolutely recommendable to anyone interested in the organizational and technical aspects of modern production technology' - Journal of the Operational Research Society`Particularly useful as a text on "people" courses directed at engineering students as well as those aimed at giving management and other social science students an appreciation of the technical aspects of some of the key issues facing manufacturing industry' - Work, Employment and Society
`The book is extremely well constructed and of high value, not only because the chapters are written by well-known academics, but they also follow common rules: almost all of them contain theoretical background, empirical results and a quite rich literature' - International Journal of Production Economics
