What is the International Manufacturing Strategy Survey (IMSS)?
Every four years London Business School teams up with major institutions around the world to conduct a comprehensive study of manufacturing. As a non-profit making network, IMSS plays a major role in helping companies to: • understand and identify manufacturing management policies and practices that best achieve the strategic objectives of the companies • perform comparative analyses of manufacturing strategies in the assembly industry at national and international levels • establish criteria for the introduction of best practices as well as their level of transferability and adaptability to different environments • perform their own comparative analyses, using their sectorial, national and international benchmarks • encourage communication between participating companies and schools on aspects of manufacturing management that directly affect them.
