The ability to respond quickly to customers orders, to customize products to match customers exact requirements, or to ramp up production rapidly can be a powerful and difficult-to-imitate competitive weapon.Many managers do not have the information necessary to develop, shape, and exploit their company s manufacturing capabilities. As plants develop, however, they need guidance to build capabilities that meet current and future needs. Plant tours can be a powerful way of providing factories with that kind of direction.Almost everyone who leads, works for, or interacts with a manufacturing company can benefit from seeing a factory firsthand. Plant visits allow senior executives to build a better understanding of a site s performance potential; to assess a competitor; to rally the frontline workforce; and to communicate the company s performance, strategy, and current challenges. Plant visits allow managers to share best practices with a partner, or to benchmark performance and practices.
