A manufacturing background will definitely help you. However, more important than just your industry will be the kind of work you are doing, how much responsibility you are getting and how successful you have been. You might also want to look at programs that specialize in operations. Think MIT's LGO program or Tauber at Ross, assuming you are interested in operations going forward.
