it faces increased competition from all over the world

Although American industry is more productive than ever,

didn't always deliver when they needed to and therefore manufacturers had to carry large inventories of raw materials.

Another flaw in the mass production process is that suppliers

meet the needs of small markets with very little increase in cost

make retention of employees easier

Businesses look for a high quality of life for managers and workers in order to

Even though labor is becoming a smaller percentage of the cost of production, availability of low-cost labor or the right kind of skilled labor remained the key reason to move

The need to inspect work required extra people and resources If an error was found someone had to correct the mistake or scrap the product which is costly if the customer found the mistake he or she might be dissatisfied and might even buy from another firm after
