The general objective of this paper is to investigate how manufacturing plants make use of manufacturing strategy and technology, aiming to increase the understanding of Production and Operations Management (POM). This is done by individually testing the effectiveness of both manufacturing practices (MP) by using some of their aspects, with the ultimate goal of enhancing operational performance. In keeping with the overall objective of this research, two areas are identified as being of particular interest: (i) whether manufacturing strategy influences operational performance and (ii) whether technology influences operational performance. This paper proposes a model of universal fit to verify both areas, and a methodology for collecting the data from different industrial sectors in Honduras. The empirical results will be of vital importance in Honduras` POM since they will suggest if there are differences between the levels of both MPs being implemented by both high and standard performers.
Key words: Manufacturing Strategy; Technology; Operational Performance; Universal Fit.
