Executive Summary
GILLETTE REALIGNING WORLDWIDE OPERATIONS across all business units over the next two years to "compete more effectively in a global arena," the firm said Jan. 10. In a move to increase operating efficiency, Gillette plans to shift manufacturing facilities from multiple product type production to single product type production. Gillette noted that this conversion was prompted by the relaxation of trade barriers over the past several years, which reduces a manufacturer's need to produce a broad range of products in each market.
