SME STUDY FINDS MANUFACTURERS HAVE VARYING FAMILIARITY
WITH LEAN MANUFACTURING. In a recently completed study on the needs of
manufacturing in the Northeast, SME has found that while most small to
mid-sized manufacturers identify ways they could benefit from applying lean
manufacturing, only one in four are pursuing it. About half of the respondents
from small and mid-sized organizations said they were either not aware of the
advantages presented by lean, not interested, or do not believe they can use
the principles of lean to help their organizations. To learn more about the study,
see the release at http://www.sme.org/cgi-bin/get-press.pl?&&20030014&PR&&SME&
