Obstacles of New Manufacturing Systems in Libya: Reconnaissance Study in Libyan Environment

Recently, all businesses and manufacturing environment’s competition depend on the highest quality of its products and lowest cost. Many modern systems such as total quality management and just-in-time system change the global competitive business environment, which has forced the organization to transform to achieve their goals. These systems focus on the concept of human resource development and quality improvement. It appears that the Libya manufacturing management may not quite understand what the new and modern systems are, and what is involved in implementing new systems. Therefore, it is necessary to try to benefit from them in improving the production by taking into consideration the difficulties that Libya struggled in the last decade. In order to achieve the paper objectively, an interview was made with some responsible people in different industrial companies, to investigate the availability of new manufacturing systems in Libya, and the obstacles that they may face. The researcher hopes that the paper results will be helpful in reaching decisions to develop the industrial sector, through adopting new manufacturing methods, in order to increase the growth in this sector in Libya.
