“Flexibility” is the key: Be prepared to handle even the pickiest orders

Rigid thinking is attributable to the lost leadership of the US manufacturing sector in the world market

In today’s business environment where strategies change constantly, strong willpower and commitment are quintessential

One of the reasons for dwindling US competitiveness is its slow decay and the decline of manufacturing prowess that it had once enjoyed. A country known for inventing the Ford manufacturing process and assembly line no longer is the front page news in terms of advancement in this field. Recently, US President Obama declared that he will try to reinvent this competitiveness by working closely with local companies. In fact, if you listen to the US presidential candidates, all of them have political agenda related to this subject. Somehow they are promising that the US will be back to the days when it ruled the world as a manufacturing giant. But aside from uninformed, uneducated US voters, no one in the global community believes this promise as this will be just another rhetoric for politicians.
