The role of manufacturing innovations in production relocation decisions
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Manufacturing innovations are technologies and activities that improve and change the level of capacity, performance and quality in manufacturing permanently or over time. This policy brief explores the role of manufacturing innovations in different Nordic contexts, their link with production relocation decisions and performance implications. Manufacturing innovations are analyzed in terms of four dimensions: manufacturing technology innovations, process innovations, delivery chain innovations, and disruptive innovations. The manufacturing firms’ relocation decisions are also analyzed, from the perspective of perceived importance of relocation. Performance is assessed in terms of cost efficiency improvement and performance within industry in terms of quality, delivery lead time and flexibility (QDF).
