The creation of a cladogram, a structure representation of the evolutionary history of a group of manufacturing systems, helps manufacturing firms achieve organizational change through the structure's underlying philosophy of evolution. The tree structure of a cladogram enables manufacturing firms to identify their organizational position, as well as their competitors. The structure's corresponding ratings in terms of organizational competitiveness and performance guide manufacturing firms in deciding whether to continue or cease their operations.
