• Practicing continuous improvement
• Focusing on quality.
• Saving on costs through site selection.

• Adopting production techniques such as enterprise resource planning, computer-integrated manufacturing, flexible manufacturing, lean manufacturing, and robotics.
Flexible manufacturing means designing machines to do multiple tasks.
Lean manufacturing is the production of goods using less of everything than in mass production: less human effort, less manufacturing space, less invest ment in tools, and less engineering time to develop a new product.
Production: is the creation of finished goods and services using the factors of pro- duction: land, labor, capital, entrepreneurship, and knowledge

Can accommodate changes in design or customer demand.
Customization: Specific service to an specific order
Facility location is the process of selecting a company's operation center because of its geographical position.
