Management Des Opération Renault Rapport

“Lean is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste (non-value-added activities) through continuous improvement by flowing the **product at the pull of the customer in pursuit of perfection.” Lockwood [24].

If I need to resume the culture and value of Renault in 4 words, it will be creativity, quality, responsibility, and boldness. In fact, in a competitive sector like the automotive, differentiation constitute one of the key factors of success, and this is the reason why research and development occupy privilege place at Renault.

In this report i do an analysis of the degree of globalisation of the automotive industry with special interest in Ford motor company. This analysis begins with an introduction to the automotive industry then it covers industrialisation of the automotive industry, also globalisation of the automotive industry and lastly global integration of the automotive industry.

"Since its founding in 1837, John Deere has seen great many changes in its business, its products, and its services” (John Deere, 2015). John Deere will have some contrasts and comparisons to our organization in management style(s) for lean initiative and characteristics of lean enterprise style(s). Some of John Deere’s lean practices could also integrate into our organization. The use of technology can support lean objectives in a global environment in different ways. John Deere has shown the way to becoming a leaner company.

The success of the Toyota Production System is the evidence that Lean Systems help manufacturing companies in improving their operations and the process of manufacturing. Lean is an approach to eliminate waste and maximize the value for the customers. Lean has made its place in today’s market. Apart from Toyota, companies like John Deere one of the largest manufacturers of agricultural machinery, Textron- leading systems which offers products and services to support the defense and the aerospace, Intel- the world’s largest chip makers, Nike-one of the leading super-cool clothing company have occupied their place in the success list of lean systems.

The article starts by comparing Lean Systems used in Japan compared to the ones used in the west. The success of lean production has induced mass producers to copy many of its features, but it is not always successful (Maier and Rechtin, 2002, p.70). The success of Japanese in using lean production can be linked to the limitation of conversion of lean systems in other environments. In the West, industrial engineers and management science people

Lean is a conspicuous theory and application which expects the use of a wide range of assets for any reason, other than the production of significant worth for the end client to be inefficient, and subsequently an objective for prohibition. The theory and mindset communicated by an arrangement of standards, supplemented by various devices and systems helps for waste abolition, equipped execution change, stock diminishment, and ideal quality level to the end clients. It is one of the principal and far reaching ideas that add to organizations everywhere throughout the globe to increase upper hand and thrive on the global market. (Čiarnienė & Vienažindienė, 2015)

The report begins with introducing the lean then presents the theories associated with it further elaborates on the principles, tools, processes and application.

Lean manufacturing is not just a production method. It is a way of life. One could say that it is simply a way of providing customers what they want, at a price they can afford, when they want it (Leaning Forward). However, it is much more than just satisfying the customer’s needs.

Renault is a French multinational vehicle manufacturer established in 1898 by Louis Renault in association with his brother who ran the financial side while he took care of the mechanics from the beginning, Louis managed to show innovation and contribution to the final victory in the first world war by turning out trucks, stretchers, ambulances and shells, Renault decided to improve production and lower costs and become more autonomous by buying materials and parts needed to make cars . During the economic crisis Renault started to cut costs, Reduce staff but at the same time it became more efficient in production that 's why it started expanding into other areas, In 1945 the French government got the leadership of the

The French automobile manufacturer Renault takes its name from Fouis Renault, the company's founder, and is currently the fourth-largest automaker in the world. It was created by Fouis, Marcel, and Fernand Renault, and also Thomas Evert and Julian Wyer, with Fouis Renault being the main force behind the Société Renault Frères. From 1944 to 1946 the government nationalised the industry Renault with the aim of curbing the production. (Histoire de France). By its activities Renault is now one of the most significant automobile firms, that is capable to adapt itself in several contexts from 1898 until today. (Jean Louis Loubet).

Without significant core competencies, it is almost impossible for the companies to become to such a powerful and respectable brand in the car industry. In fact, based on the consumer perceptions on the car manufactured, Mercedes Benz is already established the powerful and distinguish the core competencies in the marketplace (Bossink & Blauw, 2002). Innovation is one of the core competencies of Mercedes Benz to become such a famous and trustfully brand in the auto industry. For examples, the internal combustion engine automobile was launched in 1886, the first automotive with four brakes on all of the four wheels,the company spearheaded the replacement of fuel injection with float carburetor, the safety cell concept, and the first

This paper is about BMW, one of the best global brands in the modern 21st century (Interbrand, 2012). BMW is a brand of vehicles which is considered a symbol of quality and status among its customers (Gantriis, 2008). The brand offers variety of products ranging from motorcycles to cars. The brand is famous for high quality engines installed in the BMW vehicles. The reason of engine strength lies in the fact that the idea of BMW car manufacturing was conceived from the practice of producing aircraft engines. There was a time when BMW was only an engine manufacturer and the engines were installed in various vehicles. The success in the field of powerful engines led BMW to start its own manufacturing plant for vehicles. The production started from motorbike in 1923 (BMW, 2012) and the dawn of 1929 witnessed the first ever car produced by BMW (Wired, 2007).

When it comes to Lean Enterprise, it focuses mainly on reducing cycle time and also waste in the process. Lean Enterprise was at first developed by Toyota Motor Corporation as the Toyota Production System which became popular after 1973. The energy crisis facilitated the increasing demand at that time. “The term ‘Lean Enterprise’ is used to broaden the scope of a Lean programme from manufacturing to embrace the enterprise or entire organization”. (Alukal, 2003)

Lean production is generally described from two points of view, either from a philosophical perspective related to guiding principles and overarching goals, or from the practical
