A Massive Earthquake, A Nuclear Emergency, And A Tsunami
A massive earthquake, a nuclear emergency, and a tsunami have impacted Nissan Motor Company, an automobile manufacturer. The below paper
describes how proper operations management practices will help with the recovery of Nissan. "Operations Management (OM) is the set of activities
that creates value in the form of goods and services by transforming inputs into outputs" (Heizer & Render, 2014). Nissan uses operations management
functions, such as organizing, leading, planning, staffing, and controlling, which are all related to the supply chain, to generate value (Heizer et al.,
2014). This management process helps correctly address operations decisions. For Nissan, the leading OM output is automobiles, but to make this

This helped the company and its customers when doing business with other regions and people, specifically dealing with communication problems.
Finally, distinguished from the competitors, Nissan was able to provide a simple product line. "The company adopted a build–to–stock strategy for just
a few SKUs in each model and a build–to–order strategy for the rest" (Schmid et al., 2013). Management states that this strategy has allowed Nissan
to pick and chose what they wanted in the vehicles, in order to fulfill the needs of their customers, which increased sales as well. Nissan's customers
feel appreciated and that their voice matters too, which builds loyalty and more sales for the company. Nissan has been able to achieve a competitive
advantage using OM. A competitive advantage is "the creation of a unique advantage over competitors" (Heizer et al., 2014), which Nissan has been
able to do with the operations function and keeping a focus on flexibility. "In January 2012, Nissan announced that it would increase the localized
production of its cars in the America from approximately 70% to 90% by 2015. This displayed a competitive advantage against other automobile
manufacturers following the impact of a massive earthquake, a nuclear emergency, and a tsunami. Since financial crises in 2008 had caused higher
costs, the company used localized production to lower those costs. Nissan has actually established a competitive

Case Study Of Nissan

models of vehicle, while the rest of the methods of vehicle are building to order. This style of operations management should save the company money.

The Relationship Between Nissan And Mitsubishi
Description of the Situation
One of the most spoken and discussed issues in the business world has become establishing the association between the Nissan and Mitsubishi car
producers. After the scandal that occurred as the Mitsubishi falsified its fuel–economy tests, the cooperation with Nissan is like a lifeline to the
company. Nissan's decision to buy an influential share of Mitsubishi's assets is believed to bring benefits to both participants of the process. While this
deal would help the Mitsubishi corporation to improve its image after the cheating scandal, Nissan also expects to increase its profits by using the
recognizability of Mitsubishi's brand in the eastern countries. Under the conditions of growing global competition in the automobile industry, the
alliance between the large Japanese and European car producers is supposed to radically strengthen the positions of both companies on the market.
However, the formation of this alliance would not involve the complete merger of the companies. Nissan shared information regarding taking "a 34%
stake in Mitsubishi Motors", which would allow Nissan to gain de facto control over the processes within Mitsubishi ("Nissan Is Buying"). With
one–third of the assets, Nissan would become Mitsubishi's main investor. The Nissan company has an objective of ... Show more content on

History Of Toyota Motor Co.
The history of Toyota goes back to 1937 when Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. was established in Japan. The company had been doing well and wanted to
expand their operations into other countries. On October 31, 1957 Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. was formed. They established their headquarters
in Hollywood, California and began selling vehicles in 1958. In the first year, Toyota sold 287 Toyopet Crown sedans and one Land Cruiser. Within
the first 10 years of business the company began to develop a reputation in the United States for having high quality vehicles that were also reliable.
By 1966, they had sold more than 20,000 vehicles and by 1967, Toyota became the third–best–selling import brand in the United States. Toyota

In 1996, Toyota engineers discovered an issue with the Hilux Surf, a sport utility vehicle (SUV) that was sold in England. Toyota sold this same
SUV in the United States, but it was called the 4Runner. The engineers were concerned because with a combination of heavy loading and severe
steering maneuvers, the SUVs could lose directional stability. This resulted in the possible consequence of drivers losing control of the vehicle and
increasing the risk of a crash. Toyota did make a design change to correct the steering mechanism, but instead of issuing a recall on the existing
Hilux Surfs and 4Runners that were already on the road, Toyota simply installed the design change on the new models. Eight years later, there was
an accident that involved an out of control Hilux Surf that prompted a police investigation. The Japanese government heavily criticized Toyota and
ordered them to overhaul its recall system. Since 2007, Toyota has received major criticism regarding the safety and quality of their vehicles. The
company has faced many issues in a short period of time. Following is a brief timeline that highlights the major events that took place: 2007 March
2007Toyota receives reports about an accelerator pedal glitch in its Tundra model. September 26, 2007Toyota recalls Lexus models to secure floor

The Nissan Rogue
Car manufacturers sometimes choose odd names for their vehicles. Most such names, including the Mazda Bongo and the Mitsubishi Pistachio, never
make it to the US as marketers wisely intervene and demand changes. The Nissan Rogue has one of those names that slipped through the cracks,
although it is doubtful whether the true meaning of the word is known by many. Of "rogue" Merriam–Webster describes as, "a dishonest, knavish
person; scoundrel." The second dictionary definition may be more in line with what Nissan was thinking, "a playfully mischievous person; scamp."
Naming choice aside, the Nissan Rogue is a compact crossover sport utility vehicle, just one of several models this Japanese brand sells in North
America. The Juke is the smallest of the lot, followed by the Rogue, Murano and Pathfinder. The Xterra– a midsize traditional body–on–frame SUV –
was retired at the end of 2015. That leaves the Armada at the top of the SUV pecking order in the Nissan range. 2015 Nissan Rogue A 2015 Nissan
Rogue SV FWD edition was a recent weekly test vehicle, a five–passenger SUV with an optional third–row seat. That two–person seat is part of a

Nissan 's Flagship Sedan Throws Down 300 Horses
Nissan's flagship sedan throws down 300 horses.
The 2017 Nissan Maxima defies easy description. Or categorization.
On the one hand, it is a mainstream midsize sedan. On the other hand, its upper–end trims rival the high–quality interiors you find in some luxury
models. Adding further confusion to the mix is its 300–horsepower, V6 engine – a high output version of a tried and true engine found in other
products, including the Altima sedan.
What the 2017 Nissan Maxima represent is the flagship sedan for the Nissan line. It is smaller than other leading sedans, including the Dodge Charger,
Toyota Avalon, Chevrolet Impala, Hyundai Azera, Buick LaCrosse, Ford Taurus, Kia Cadenza, and the Chrysler 300. Indeed, the Maxima is based on

Ambivalence was my initial reaction. Quite honestly, I didn't know what to make of it. On the one hand, I thought it was a bold design, one that was a
clean departure from the previous model, while still offering strong hints of Nissan's current design language. On the other hand, I wondered what
consumers would think as they are the final arbiters of car design.
It turns out the horseshoe grille, floating roof, and wild tail lights have done nothing to discourage buyers. Indeed, after five years of steady declines,
Maxima sales this year are better than what we've seen in more than three years. That says a lot in a market where car sales have been steadily
declining as customers shift their purchase decisions to crossovers.
Choose the Maxima SR (our test model) and you'll benefit from 19–inch aluminum–alloy wheels, a sport–tuned suspension, and Premium Ascot
leather–appointed seats with Alcantara inserts. You also get aluminum pedals, a heated steering wheel, adjustable ambient lighting, heated and cooled
front seats, an 11–speaker Bose audio system, Nissan Connect with navigation and Apple CarPlay, and one of my favorites: a driver's seat extender for

Throughout 100 years of operation, this company has experienced a lot of successes as well as numerous difficulties than any other car
manufacturing companies in Japan. "Nissan" was not the company's earliest name. Masujiro Hashimoto originally founds Nissan in 1911, and it was
first named Kwaishinsha Motor Car Works. The main reason why Mr.Hashimoto wanted to produce car made in Japan is because there were only

BACKGROUND
The Global Leadership of Carlos Ghosn at Nissan
During March 1999, Brazilian Carlos Ghosn took over as the first non–Japanese Chief Operating Officer of Nissan, when Nissan had been incurring
losses for seven of the prior eight years. Many of the industry analysts expected a culture clash between the French leadership style and his new
Japanese employees. Analysts said, because the financial situation at Nissan had become critical so the decision to bring Ghosn in came at the worst
possible time. The continuing losses were resulting in debts (approximately $22 billion) that were shaking the confidence of suppliers and financiers
alike. Furthermore, the Nissan brand was weakening in the minds of consumers due to a product ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Along with other Japanese manufacturers, Nissan was successfully competing on quality, reliability and fuel efficiency. By 1991, Nissan was operating
very profitably, producing four of the top ten cars in the world.Nissan management throughout the 1990s, however, had displayed a tendency to
emphasize short term market share growth, rather than profitability or long–term strategic success. Nissan was very well known for its advanced
engineering and technology, plant productivity, and quality management. During the previous decade, Nissan's designs had not reflected customer
opinion because they assumed that most customers preferred to buy good quality cars rather than stylish, innovative cars. Instead of reinvesting in new
product designs as other competitors did, Nissan managers seemed content to continue to harvest the success of proven designs. They tended to put
retained earnings into equity of other companies, often suppliers, and into real–estate investments, as part of the Japanese business custom of keiretsu
investing. Through these equity stakes in other companies, Ghosn's predecessors (and Japanese business leaders in general) believed that loyalty and
cooperation were fostered between members of the value chain within their keiretsu.
By 1999, Nissan had tied up over $4 billion in the stock shares of hundreds of different companies as part of this keiretsu philosophy. These
investments, however, were not reflected in Nissan's

Ghosn closed plants, laid off workers, broke up long–standing supply networks, and sold off marginal assets to focus on the company's core business.
Nissan was now breaking the cultural norms of keiretsu investments. Cutting down costs was just the first step in Nissan's recovery. Actually changes
were introduced in every corner of the company, from manufacturing and engineering to marketing and sales: update of Nissan's car and truck lineup;
introducing new, dynamic designs; quality improvement. These strategies quickly polished Nissan's image in the marketplace, and re–established the
company in the minds of consumers as a leader in innovation and engineering.
His so–called Nissan Revival seems to be working. But Ghosn is definitely an iconoclast. He defies Japanese business etiquette and shakes hands with
every employee he meets, not just top managers. But his radical moves have made him Public Enemy No. 1 to Japanese traditionalists.
Eighteen months later, Nissan was back in the black, and within several more years it had become the most profitable large automobile company in the

Nissan's new line of cars in China will be designed and engineered in Japan, based on a common "B" platform shared with Renault that centers on
smaller engines. Annual sales of the entire family of cars are expected to reach 200,000 units globally and will be launched in other markets over
the next couple of years (Financial Times, pg. 1). However, the threat of inadequate roads and the government's changes in regulating how autos
are purchased will make the costs unpredictable. On a financial scale, the banks are under pressure to control credit, so auto loans may not be easy
to acquire. North America accounts for nearly 40% of Nissan's global sales, and in each of the past years sales have exceeded those in Japan, with
the gap widening each year. Nissan is spending several billion dollars on new models, and the U.S. assembly plant in Canton, MS is aimed at

The Change Process Essay
At the beginning of the change process, a crucial aspect for Ghosn was the importance and the need for an open communication in both directions:
from upper management to lower management and vice versa. Before he took over the position of the COO at Nissan, he traveled to Japan to gather
information from the lower–level management up to the top–level management.
Clampitt, DeKoch, and Cushman outlined different communication strategies, which can be found in Ghosn's communication style. They authors
defined the communication strategies based on "communication effectiveness" and "amount of informational transmitted" and emphasized that leaders
can use the strategies simultaneously (Palmer et al., 2009, p. 305). In the case of Nissan, Ghosn followed the device of transparency to regain
credibility, and thus he transmitted an enormous amount of information. Furthermore, the communication effectiveness was middle to high since
Ghosn provided detailed information to the people involved in the change. He wanted to avoid confusions, and thus he shared a maximum of
information (Hughes et al., 2003, p. 6). Ghosn also engaged people being a part of the change discussion, as an example: He defined the CFTs, which
had the challenge to identify the change actions and obstacles. Thus, Ghosn's communication strategy (at least based on the case study) was a mix of
"tell and sell" and "underscore and explore" (Palmer et al., 2009, p. 306).

The Relationship Between Nissan And Mitsubishi Description of the Situation One of the most spoken and discussed issues in the business world has become establishing the association between the Nissan and Mitsubishi car producers. After the scandal that occurred as the Mitsubishi falsified its fuel–economy tests, the cooperation with Nissan is like a lifeline to the company. Nissan's decision to buy an influential share of Mitsubishi's assets is believed to bring benefits to both participants of the process. While this deal would help the Mitsubishi corporation to improve its image after the cheating scandal, Nissan also expects to increase its profits by using the recognizability of Mitsubishi's brand in the eastern countries. Under the conditions of growing global competition in the automobile industry, the alliance between the large Japanese and European car producers is supposed to radically strengthen the positions of both companies on the market.

Toyota sold this same SUV in the United States, but it was called the 4Runner. The engineers were concerned because with a combination of heavy loading and severe steering maneuvers, the SUVs could lose directional stability. This resulted in the possible consequence of drivers losing control of the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash. Toyota did make a design change to correct the steering mechanism, but instead of issuing a recall on the existing Hilux Surfs and 4Runners that were already on the road, Toyota simply installed the design change on the new models. Eight years later, there was an accident that involved an out of control Hilux Surf that prompted a police investigation. The Japanese government heavily criticized Toyota and ordered them to overhaul its recall system. Since 2007, Toyota has received major criticism regarding the safety and quality of their vehicles. The company has faced many issues in a short period of time. Following is a brief timeline that highlights the major events that took place: 2007 March 2007Toyota receives reports about an accelerator pedal glitch in its Tundra model.

The Nissan Rogue has one of those names that slipped through the cracks, although it is doubtful whether the true meaning of the word is known by many. Of "rogue" Merriam–Webster describes as, "a dishonest, knavish person; scoundrel." The second dictionary definition may be more in line with what Nissan was thinking, "a playfully mischievous person; scamp." Naming choice aside, the Nissan Rogue is a compact crossover sport utility vehicle, just one of several models this Japanese brand sells in North America. The Juke is the smallest of the lot, followed by the Rogue, Murano and Pathfinder. The Xterra– a midsize traditional body–on–frame SUV – was retired at the end of 2015. That leaves the Armada at the top of the SUV pecking order in the Nissan range. 2015 Nissan Rogue A 2015 Nissan Rogue SV FWD edition was a recent weekly test vehicle, a five–passenger SUV with an optional third–row seat. That two–person seat is part of a $940 SV Family Package, one that curiously includes run–flat tires. From the get–go I'll say this: if you really need room for seven, you're looking at the wrong vehicle: the Nissan Pathfinder SUV (please read my review here) or the Nissan Quest minivan are better suited for the job.

Adding further confusion to the mix is its 300–horsepower, V6 engine – a high output version of a tried and true engine found in other products, including the Altima sedan. What the 2017 Nissan Maxima represent is the flagship sedan for the Nissan line.

On the one hand, I thought it was a bold design, one that was a clean departure from the previous model, while still offering strong hints of Nissan's current design language. On the other hand, I wondered what consumers would think as they are the final arbiters of car design. It turns out the horseshoe grille, floating roof, and wild tail lights have done nothing to discourage buyers. Indeed, after five years of steady declines, Maxima sales this year are better than what we've seen in more than three years. That says a lot in a market where car sales have been steadily declining as customers shift their purchase decisions to crossovers. Choose the Maxima SR (our test model) and you'll benefit from 19–inch aluminum–alloy wheels, a sport–tuned suspension, and Premium Ascot leather–appointed seats with Alcantara inserts. You also get aluminum pedals, a heated steering wheel, adjustable ambient lighting, heated and cooled front seats, an 11–speaker Bose audio system, Nissan Connect with navigation and Apple CarPlay, and one of my favorites: a driver's seat extender for added thigh support.

Analysts said, because the financial situation at Nissan had become critical so the decision to bring Ghosn in came at the worst possible time.

Along with other Japanese manufacturers, Nissan was successfully competing on quality, reliability and fuel efficiency. By 1991, Nissan was operating very profitably, producing four of the top ten cars in the world.Nissan management throughout the 1990s, however, had displayed a tendency to emphasize short term market share growth, rather than profitability or long–term strategic success. Nissan was very well known for its advanced engineering and technology, plant productivity, and quality management. During the previous decade, Nissan's designs had not reflected customer opinion because they assumed that most customers preferred to buy good quality cars rather than stylish, innovative cars. Instead of reinvesting in new product designs as other competitors did, Nissan managers seemed content to continue to harvest the success of proven designs. They tended to put retained earnings into equity of other companies, often suppliers, and into real–estate investments, as part of the Japanese business custom of keiretsu investing. Through these equity stakes in other companies, Ghosn's predecessors (and Japanese business leaders in general) believed that loyalty and cooperation were fostered between members of the value chain within their keiretsu. By 1999, Nissan had tied up over $4 billion in the stock shares of hundreds of different companies as part of this keiretsu philosophy. These investments, however, were not reflected in Nissan's ...

Before he took over the position of the COO at Nissan, he traveled to Japan to gather information from the lower–level management up to the top–level management. Clampitt, DeKoch, and Cushman outlined different communication strategies, which can be found in Ghosn's communication style. They authors defined the communication strategies based on "communication effectiveness" and "amount of informational transmitted" and emphasized that leaders can use the strategies simultaneously (Palmer et al., 2009, p. 305). In the case of Nissan, Ghosn followed the device of transparency to regain credibility, and thus he transmitted an enormous amount of information. Furthermore, the communication effectiveness was middle to high since Ghosn provided detailed information to the people involved in the change. He wanted to avoid confusions, and thus he shared a maximum of information (Hughes et al., 2003, p. 6). Ghosn also engaged people being a part of the change discussion, as an example: He defined the CFTs, which had the challenge to identify the change actions and obstacles. Thus, Ghosn's communication strategy (at least based on the case study) was a mix of "tell and sell" and "underscore and explore" (Palmer et al., 2009, p. 306). Plamer et al.
