An Empirical Study of Manufacturing Competence

The manufacturing strategy means to highly evaluate the procactive part the manufacturing function takes, and furthermore to make it become a competing asset or arms of the corporation. However, how the corporation can, effectively take the advantage of the manufacturing function to gain competence is heavily depended on the role the manufacturing department plays. In this regard, "the manufacturing strategic role" has a profound influence on its manufacturing strategy. The purpose of this research is to study the linkage of manufacturing strategic role; manufacturing competence and corporation performance, and adopts empirical research for information/electronic industry on Taiwan. We use LISREL model to complete this empirical research. The major conclusions of this research are summarized as follower: The paper has developed a theoretical model, and it has significant statistical meanings. Furthermore, the manufacturing strategic role has effect on both the manufacturing competence and corporation performance. Thus this theoretical model has been verified.
