"If you make them wrong, heaven help you." Industrial managers are no longer innovative, and they are trapped in a system of scheduling and planning processes which Skinner describes as "housekeep ing." "We have two or three genera tions of incompetent industrial managers," he said. "These man agers are in an industrial revolu tion, and they're handicapped by 25 years of legacy of the old way. "We have an enormous depen dence on the institution of indus trial management, and we depend on it in our society," he said.

Industrial managers fail to maximize their human resources, and factory employees have the lowest salaries and most tedious work, Skinner said. The result - a talent shortage in manufacturing. "The public has no real interest in the factory - who wants to spend their life doing that stuff," he said. "We have to do a better job with people in our factories. There is still a very low invest ment." Industry's such as shoes and textiles are still struggling, Skin ner said. Companies have no manufacturing strategy and fail to emphasize customer satisfaction, he said. Some mangers have even com plained that even accounting pro cedures have stymied innovation. "Accounting is archaic and based on principles that are 50 years old," he said. Despite its problems, Skinner said U.S. factories are producing quality goods at more efficient ca pacities. "Our quality has improved enormously but we have fallen further behind Japan despite these improvements." Skinner said arguments that cheap foreign labor, unfair foreign government subsidies and an"un- "Our quality has im proved enormously but we have fallen further behind Japan despite these improve ments." -Dr. Wickham Skinnet, retired Harvard professor level playing field," such as high er medical and legal costs, are wrong. "We have 30 concepts or tech niques in industrial production that are new or rediscovered," he said. "Absolutely, no question that there is a fantastic revolution in the way industry is managed." Skinner's appearance was sponsored by the University Lec tures Series and the College ol Business Administration and Graduate School of Business. 4!U MSC VARIETY JL ^ SHOW A April 16, 1993 7:30 P.M.
