Praise for manufacturers'' operations managementThe chief secretary to the Treasury has praised manufacturing management at two successful companies in Burnley.

Danny Alexander visited both Aircelle and AMS Neve in the Lancashire town and met with workers, witnessing first hand how they are excelling in their particular production sectors.

The former is an aircraft equipment manufacturer, while AMS Neve specialises in the production of audio technology, with Mr Alexander noting almost 20 per cent of all workers in Burnley are employed in the manufacturing industry.

"By dealing with the deficit and creating the conditions for growth the Government can support manufacturing companies such as these in driving the private sector-led recovery," Mr Alexander declared.

Operations management professionals may also be interested in recent comments by Ed Moss of the Manufacturing Institute, in which he claimed that production businesses in the UK have seen a return of the country's leading reputation for high-quality goods.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800419331-ADNFCR
