H-W Framework Submitted To: Prof. L S urt!y "ate: #$ t! %un. &$'( INTRODUCTION )ny manufacturin* system s!ould adapt itself to reflect t!e c!an*es in its competiti+e en+ironment. "urin* initial sta*e of life cycle, a product is a+ailable in multiple confi*urations and low +olumes. )s product matures, it e+ol+es to smaller number of !i*!er +olume products. Hence, Hayes and W!eelwri*!t su**ested t!at bot! competiti+e strate*y and t!e manufacturin* system of a typical company in t!e industry mi*!t be e-pected to e+ol+e in predictable manner. Hayes and W!eelwri*!t .H-W/ !a+e pro+ided a si*nificant breakt!rou*! towards strate*ic manufacturin* by proposin* a four- 1 sta*ed framework of manufacturin* effecti+eness of any *i+en operation. For any or*ani0ation t!e de*ree of manufacturin* effecti+eness is e+aluated on a continuum from sta*e ' to sta*e (. ' IMPORTANCE OF STAGE 1 TO 4 At each stage of manufacturing efectiveness, an organization embraces its manufacturing as depicted in below diagram, OBJECTIES OF OUR STUD! '.

To 2 di+ersify t!e portfolio, we would try to find or*ani0ations w!ic! we t!ink could be in different sta*es of manufacturin* effecti+eness. SECONDAR!
