THE IMPACT OF UNIONS ON OPERATIONS STRATEGY
Authors:Mark Pagell  Robert Handfield
Abstract:This paper explores the effect that unions have on a firm's ability to reengineer manufacturing processes. We begin by exploring the various effects that a union may have in a manufacturing environment. Next, we briefly review how unions may affect managerial initiatives to reengineer processes and improve manufacturing performance. The third section analyzes an existing database to test for differences in cycle time and manufacturing performance between union and nonunion firms. Finally, we discuss the implications of the study for future operations strategy research and note how a different form of union‐management relationships is beginning to evolve.
Keywords:OPERATIONS STRATEGY  LABOR RELATIONS  UNIONS  REENGINEERING
