Competitive Manufacturing
Competitive manufacturing

What is competitive manufacturing?
Competitive manufacturing uses a systematic approach to producing high quality goods, for the least cost and with the least waste.

Businesses that uses competitive manufacturing concepts typically:

  • save money by reducing the costs of making its products
  • reduce their product cycle time
  • improve workflow through the plant, reducing everyone’s workload
  • involve everyone in continuously improving its products and processes

Why invest in competitive manufacturing?
The challenges of growth, productivity and marketing are more important to New Zealand’s manufacturers than ever before.

No single strategy can meet all these challenges, but competitive manufacturing provides a sound base.

It provides the skills to take familiar concepts like just-in-time, value chains and inventory control and use them to drive your business’ performance.

Who would benefit from competitive manufacturing training?
Everyone involved in the manufacturing process would benefit from the training including:
  • Process workers
  • Team leaders
  • Supervisors
  • Managers

National Certificates now available:
  • Competitive Manufacturing Level 2 or 3
