The actions of American tool shops to counteract global competition are undocumented. Information is lacking identifying changes and improvements guiding the transformation of the industry into a more viable and competitive force. The purpose of the study was to survey and describe the actions taken by the American tooling industry to become more competitive while successfully responding to increased worldwide business and manufacturing pressure. Proven concepts from production flow theory, quality control, and engineering management provided the theoretical foundation. Research questions focused on the changes made by the tooling industry to improve quality, increase efficiency, streamline operations, and analyze performance. The study utilized a mixed model research design with qualitative and quantitative aspects. A randomly selected sample of members from the National Tooling & Machining Association (NTMA) received a self-administered survey. Descriptive statistics analyzed the data using frequency counts, rankings, percentages, and distribution tables. The findings indicate that American tool shops are using innovative technologies, updating machinery, implementing improvement programs, and instituting new strategies. The tool shops making this transition are the adaptors creating new competitive advantages by revising their strategies to reflect competitive changes, offering products fitting into unique niches, supplying specialized customer services, and providing rapid delivery. The social impact of this research is significant for revitalizing a basic component of America's industrial capacity, preserving the ability to build and maintain military equipment assuring our nation's security, and sustaining the economic wellbeing of communities.
