Or for processes:

Page 5: Innovation in Manufacturing: From Product Innovation to Productivity

Impact of Innovation on Industry or Product Life Cycle

Page 5

Level of innovation needed is a function of product life cycle (T) / “clock speed” Determining working capital and assets/resource allocation is critical

Impact of product and process innovation on the American watch industry, 1850s-1880s

• User friendly interfaces (setting time and winding)

• Reliability• Size• Availability• Cost

Production and employment in the late 19th Century American watch industry

Page 9

Peak employment of ~100K in

late 1920s

Page 10: Innovation in Manufacturing: From Product Innovation to Productivity

Lack of product innovation in 1920s/1930s

• Self-winding capability and electric watch designs were disappointments

• Mainspring design and life expectancy had not changed for 50 years

• Request for tariff protection ended unsuccessfully

• Before decade ended significant number of “American watches” were made in Switzerland

The pressure to innovate

• Digital Equipment • Nortel Networks• Data General• Lucent• Kodak• Chrysler• GM*• Polaroid• Xerox*

• Palm• RCA• Motorola*• And others

Page 13

Lack of product innovation and excessive asset allocation to manufacturing during the latter part of the “growth life cycle” drove these former leaders out of business:

Why a career in Manufacturing?

• Not for the faint of heart• Complexity and intensity• Hard skills/soft skills• In the center of all the

action• Diverse set of skills and

knowledge a requirement:• Technical excellence• Financial knowledge• Ability to lead people and teams• Communication skills
