Developing a Production System in Mexico

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1287/inte.20.3.14

In designing and installing a manufacturing system for a factory in Mexico, we had to address problems and considerations that are typical in implementing production systems for developing countries; for example, the unskilled work force and poor power supplies. Other problems in planning and developing arose from conditions and goals that differ from those in other developing countries; for example, poor employee-management relations. Many such problems can be avoided or solved with proper planning.
