Abstract:

The application of World Class Manufacturing(WCM) practises is very important for manufacturing enterprises to improve their performance and achieve competitive advantages. This research use the data of International Manufacturing Strategy Survey(IMSS) in 2009 as samples to reveal the relationship between WCM practises and enterprise performance and to discover the effect of different countries on the above-mentioned relationship, based on hierarchy regression analysis method. The results show that WCM practises is positively related with enterprise performance, besides, the positive influence of SCM on enterprise performance in developing countries is greater than that in developed countries.
