Critical Thinking
The global marketplace has witnessed an increased pressure
from customers and competitors in manufacturing as well as
service sector (Basu, 2001; George, 2002). Due to the rapidly
changing global marketplace only those companies will be able
to survive that will deliver products of good quality at cheaper
rate and to achieve their goal companies try to improve
performance by focusing on cost cutting, increasing
productivity levels, quality and guaranteeing deliveries in order
to satisfy customers (Raouf, 1994).
Increased global competition leads the industry to increasing
22. efficiency by means of economies of scale and internal
specialization so as to meet market conditions in terms of
flexibility, delivery performance and quality (Yamashina,
1995). The changes in the present competitive business
environment are characterized by profound competition on the
supply side and keen indecisive in customer requirements on the
demand side. These changes have left their distinctive marks on
the different aspect of the manufacturing organizations (Gomes
et al., 2006). With this increasing global economy, cost
effective manufacturing has become a requirement to remain
competitive.
To meet all the challenges organizations try to introduce
different manufacturing and supply techniques. Management of
organizations devotes its efforts to reduce the manufacturing
costs and to improve the quality of product. To achieve this
goal, different manufacturing and supply techniques have been
employed. The last quarter of the 20th century witnessed the
adoption of world-class, lean and integrated manufacturing
strategies that have drastically changed the way manufacturing
firm’s leads to improvement of manufacturing performance
(Fullerton and McWatters, 2002).
Consult chapter 7 of your text book or secondary available data
on internet and answer the following questions.
Question:
1. Why Companies adopted Lean Thinking and JIT model?
2. Discuss major types of Waste, companies has to keep in mind
during production.
3. Assess the reasons for using lean thinking (suitable
examples), what are the benefits from Suppliers to end users?
4. Due to COVID 19 emergency do you think agile supply chain
is the right concept in this kind of situation? Give reason with
example.
The Answer should be within 4- 5 pages.
The Answer must follow the outline points below:
· Lean Thinking and JIT Concept
23. · Agile Supply chain
· Their Main functions
· Reasons with suitable Examples
