Through the promotion of leadership and continuous learning, META members will accelerate growth and increase the efficiency and competitiveness of Australia’s manufacturing industry globally.
There is no level playing field
Its truly a global game
Single companies vs. collaboration networks
Globalisation: Challenges of Manufacturing
Advanced Manufacturing value chain

Suppliers Research Development Manufacturing Sales, Marketing & Support Customers
Advanced manufacturing is the provision of technology, processes and skills along the whole value chain, including key customers as well as key suppliers, to continuously improve products and surrounding services in a reliable and sustainable way, better than any global competitor.
Mass customisation – responding to the customer

Or to the mining industry..

Speed to market – fast fashion
Production lines that are focused on customer demand..
