Abstract

In the situation where organizations have become participants in the global competition war and are looking for different ideas to allow them to prevail, one of such ideas is World Class Manufacturing (WCM) which requires improvement of quality, cost, and order/service lead time [1]. On the other hand, however, what complicates the matter is the concept of culture since it is difficult to define but also crucial for success.

That article is an attempt to present the World Class Manufacturing approach and what it requires of the organization. Additionally, the concept of culture is discussed as are some of its important elements to consider. In conclusion, those elements of culture that are the most relevant for WCM are identified.

The article is a part of the co-author’s dissertation research which in its empirical section provides an analysis of companies with a variety of national backgrounds but in the same industry with respect to the influence of certain factors on progressing towards the implementation of World Class Manufacturing in the organization. The analysis was performed in the SYDYN research group.
