Summary:

A study was conducted to compare the United States to other nations in respect to modern manufacturing technology. The study was undertaken because there were sufficient indications that the private sector was having difficulty maintaining its productivity in dealing with rapid changes in this area.

With new technology, the United States can increase the productivity of industries that produce goods in small lots. Many foreign industrial nations have ways of diffusing technological advances thoughout their manufacturing bases. The United States needs to make manufacturing productivity a national priority to remain internationally competitive and to maintain strong industries.
