Excerpt from Managing the Introduction of New Process Technology: International Differences in a Multi-Plant Network
Too often, when companies introduce new manufacturing processes they not only fail to capture competitive benefits but also experience a persistent drain on human and capital resources. One major u.s. Study found that the difficulties of introducing new manufacturing equipment frequently result in productivity losses equal to or exceeding the original cost of the equipment, and that the disruptive effects can persist for two years or more Persistent problems can have serious competitive implications as deliveries, reputation, and market share slip. Further process change becomes impossible.
