This paper describes the development and analysis of a numerical taxonomy
of manufacturing strategies. The taxonomy was developed with standard
methods of cluster analysis, and is based on the relative importance
attached to eleven competitive capabilities defining the manufacturing
task of 164 large American manufacturing business units.
Three distinct clusters of manufacturing strategy groups were observed.
Though there is an industry effect, all three manufacturing strategy
types are observed in various industries. The two main dimensions
along which the manufacturing strategy groups differ are the ability
of the firms in them to differentiate themselves from competition
with their products and services, and the scope of their product
lines and markets. A general method for mapping manufacturing strategies
on these dimensions is described. For each manufacturing group, the
relationships between the competitive capabilities (which describe
the manufacturing task), the business context (the business unit
strategy), manufacturing activities (manufacturing strategy choices),
and manufacturing performance measures are explored and compared.
