Here are four generic re-positioning strategies
- Image re-positioning; Only the image is changed
- Product re-positioning : The total product offering is adapted.

Although all operations processes are similar... they do differ in a number of ways. Four of which are listed below:
- The volume of their output;
- The variety of their output;
- The variation in the demand for their output;
- The degree of visibility which customers have of the production of their output.
All four have implications for the cost of creating the products or services.
