Abstract
Manufacturing change programs are often viewed as technical undertakings. However, the success of the changes also depends on nontechnical issues such as communication, teamwork, human resource management and the level of management support for the change. Case studies of Australian manufacturers focus on the management of nontechnical issues during cross-functional manufacturing changes
