Production: We will significantly increase automation levels on our products. However, because automation sets limits upon our ability to reposition products with R&D, we will postpone automation for the High End and Size products until they arrive in the Traditional Segment. We will prefer second shift/overtime to capacity expansions.

Every company will focus on supplying a service, product, or both. How and where the product is made plays a crucial role in the company’s success. In order to help visualize how the products are made process maps are formatted. These process maps can help to identify areas that need improvement. In order to implement improvement, process development will be implemented. The form of good that a company supplies is also important and to ensure that the best product is distributed product development is conducted. Target Corporation is a complex company, which provides consumers with their necessities.

The changing demands in product delivery have forced businesses to review internal processes to meet customer demands for quality and quicker services. According Čiarnienė and Vienažindienė, (2013), over the last five years businesses faced increasing amounts of pressure from consumers and competitors to improve services without affecting product or service qualities, and increasing cost. In today’s business market customers have higher expectations from business providing products and services, and businesses can meet these expectations by increasing a product’s quality, reducing delivery time and minimizing products or a combination of the three (Čiarnienė and Vienažindienė, 2013). This issue has forced many industries to implement new

With a Strategy in place, work can be identified and prioritized into smaller self-contained work units

In the early stages of manufacturing quality and cost went hand-in-hand, if one went down so did the other but now quality is maintained at an excellent standard and cost is going down; engineers are racing to the bottom in price. This is achieved by the engineers that have created a system of work that is the assembly line, allowing for more affordability and profitable, and leading to innovation. By implementing the assembly line system of work, it requires simple tasks to be accomplished by multiple people at a constant pace, which results in cost efficient production. This system allows more product to be produced in a smaller period of time to meet the demand of the people, as the price is cheaper. However, profit is not changed

From a technological perspective industry is growing much faster and there are still many advancements going on the industry and this can also be really helpful to replace the traditional work flow with these updated processes. So processes should also go hand in hand with technology to achieve better results.

Furthermore, the outcome of increasing the number of tasks in a particular job and by giving the employees the authority and control to take meaningful decisions about their work has demonstrated a 100% positive feedback. In addition, because they implement the job rotation system, it has since permitted the employees to better or increase their level of skills, which in return has granted management with better skilled versatile personnel.

To include rotating these employees’s in varying positions to minimize employee burnout and stagnation. The responsibility increases would also add to the employee’s feelings of empowerment and job satisfaction. Another important factor I would add would be increased and regular communications throughout the organization. These implemented factors would substantially increase employee loyalty and commitment directly supporting the organizations competitive goals.

Job rotation offers employees the opportunity to learn new skills, discourages empire building, offers a broad view of the company, creates an environment of understanding, succession planning, and opportunity for advancement. (Book Review of: Maverick, 2000)

Large quantities of work in process are often characteristic of this type of production system. This may lead to longer throughput time, poor quality concealed by bundles, large inventory, extra handling, and difficulty in controlling inventory
