How does manufacturing measure up?

If you are a manufacturer and an exporter, you may be interested in a new report called Management Matters in New Zealand.   It shares the results of a project which benchmarked management practices in New Zealand manufacturing firms against global standards.
It goes without saying that if companies are not managed effectively this affects every aspect of production through to export delivery.
The report has been published as a pdf on the Ministry of Economic development website and you can access it through ELIScat - click on this URL:

If you need to get started with benchmarking, look at the New Zealand School of Export's website at:
