Abstract

This research was initiated by carrying out an extensive literature survey on the current inter-relationships between Manufacturing Business Improvement strategies. This work highlighted the need for an integrated methodology demonstrating the path of improvement. The Methodology incorporates significant findings from the research, as it highlights the originality of the amalgamation of both the technical and cultural transformations, which are two very different aspects, but highly important factors of change. This paper highlights the issues surrounding technical and cultural factors of change that are the main cause of process improvement failure. By considering the two factors a more harmonious approach in implementing the Manufacturing Business Improvements within a company is achieved, therefore resulting in a higher success rate of change
