This allows for a discussion about the well-known P-P matrix initially proposed by Hayes and Wheelwright (1994) in order to evaluate options of production systems. The empirical analysis is performed by means of a panel of data of 13 years for the Spanish manufacturing industry, which includes a total of 7741 observations. The results indicate a complementary effect between technology and skills to overcome the trade-offs of production systems.44 p.application/pdfeng© 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.Product-process strategyManufacturing technologiesWorker qualificationsComplementary effectsLabour productivityFlexibilityinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
