- Abstract
Successful and sustained manufacture has always involved attention to at least these six aspects:
1. Invention - the creation of novel ideas about things to make and sell.
2. Innovation - the adaption of our own or others' ideas so that they become realizable
3. Process design - the arrangement of the human and material resources needed for production
4. Management - orchestrating the resources available to achieve objectives
5. Profits - accumulating capital for further growth and development, and
6. Improvements - continual modification of existing products, skills and processes, together with the introduction of new ones, so as to maintain, or improve, the long term viability of an enterprise.- Source
