U.S. economy, he said.
"These are long-term structural
dectSions," Skinner said. "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

government subsidies and an"un-

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
