Abstract

This study was initiated to develop insights into the strategic directions and operational priorities West Michigan manufacturing organizations are setting for themselves. Specifically, this study examines the applicability and actual implementation of operations strategy elements by small and large West Michigan manufacturing organizations. Sixty‐seven West Michigan firms participated in this study. The results indicate that large firms are more advanced when it comes to the implementation of six of the seven operations strategies.
