This paper reexamines the idea of developing an index of manufacturing fit with market requirements. Bozarth and Berry's recent work provides a starting point. Several conceptual and methodological issues relating to the Bozarth and Berry approach are raised. It is argued that the indifference profile concept suggested by the authors bears reexamination.
