For our company Tesla Garments strategy is central to the success of the company due to the stiff competition and the continuously changing market. After careful consideration I think ‘Beyond the Stars’ our five year strategy is just what we need to achieve success and growth in this industry. The strategy as the name suggests is intended to drive the company to success levels beyond the wildest imaginations. The name is chosen to reflect the kind of heights the top leadership has set their eyes on. This is also good as a driving force for the management as well as staff as they all pursue the levels envisioned in this plan. The idea for this strategy came from a deep set need to grow market share and build brand equity as a driver for …show more content…
This will in turn help the company honor its promises to customers which will create customer goodwill. Again a lean production ensures the company reduces wastage to the bare minimum. (Wolfe, 2011) This is very helpful in pursuing lower costs. Key areas addressed by the strategy include stock holding levels, lead time minimization and reduction of stock holding costs for the company. Lower costs will enhance our ability to offer better prices than competition giving us a cost leadership competitive edge. Efficiency and effectiveness of sourcing and the elimination of waste in our goods inwards processes is also key in breaking the quality cost trade off which is central to securing a blue ocean space in the industry.
After inputs are received the next step is converting those inputs into outputs for consumption by the market. In my view this is the nerve center of the organization as the quality of our output relies heavily on how good we perform at this stage. Beyond the stars recognizes the critical role of internal processes to the success of the company. This is broken down to three aspects, (Barney, 2010) operations management, human resource management and Information management systems. These three provide the support as well as the core functions of the company.
In operations management beyond the stars proposes lean manufacturing as the basic production philosophy. This is envisioned to reduce waste in the form of
Lean operations emphasizes the understanding of the customer by producing units only as they are needed. As individual units are manufactured this reduces inventory drastically. This also would reduce any waste of products created and not sold. Both of these processes would have been a benefit to my company as there were several units of certain brands that were not desirable or meeting customer needs. This caused a loss of revenue by having units that were produced but not sold. The lean operations and Just In Time methods would eliminate this problem from the manufacturing side of my company.
In accomplishing this, the JIT lean production process will minimize use of facility space, materials and supplies, stocks, labor, capital and time. This, in turn, will reduce costs by increasing production efficiency and overall output.
The company should also focus on lean manufacturing because it has certain positive points like increase of efficiency, decrease in the waste, improvement of control and also this will create the unique demand and need of the customer in terms of products. It will also offer cost savings strategy and will maximize the high amount of values with high
Lean manufacturing is the production of goods using less of everything than in mass production: less human effort, less manufacturing space, less investment tools and less engineering time to develop a new product. A company becomes lean by continuously increasing its capacity to produce high-quality goods while
Overall, the purpose of lean is to improve processes. Lean is not a methodology that seeks for the reduction of costs, even though it might appear as a result of a great implementation of Lean. Neither is a methodology to improve productivity, as it might require to do more work that do not necessarily means that the staff is doing the right things. Lastly, Lean is not about restructuring the work the staff do, as it might simply mean changing activities without considering if they are actually value added or not.
One of the main issues when it comes to implementing lean accounting is that it exposes many things throughout a business and with this reveal comes potential changes that may alter the way a business incorporates its manufacturing process. When a company implements lean accounting into the daily business activities, the business is setting themselves up for success to evaluate the way it does business and identify potential activities that they can reduce in an effort to eliminate unwanted expenses and maximize on profits. However, having this much information when it comes to every aspect of the business may turn out to actually be a downfall in the business as a whole because when a company implements lean accounting they may see some needed
Lean production is an incorporated group of activities set up to attain high volume production by using low inventories of raw materials, processing goods, and finished goods (Chase, Jacobs, & Aquilano, 2006). Using a lean production process, the China plant will be able to produce goods at a lower cost. Riordan China plant will need to eliminate any waste in the production process to achieve the highest level of efficiency.
“Lean means creating more value for customers with less” (Krejewski, L., Ritzman, L.P., & Malhotra, M.K., 2013). Implementing this into a project can make the project very successful at a lower rate of cost and time. There are five steps in allowing the lean process to work successfully. This process is easy to remember but not always easy to achieve. Specifying the value from the customer’s point of view of the product that the customer is interested in purchasing is the first step. Identifying all the steps of value for the product the customer wants to purchase and eliminating the steps that are unnecessary is the second step. Creating a sequence of steps that flow in a consistent fashion and will flow smoothly toward the customer is the third step. Introducing the flow of the product that the customer is interested in purchasing and allowing the customer to pull value from the product is the fourth step. The fifth and final step in the lean technique process is “as value is specified, value streams are identified, wasted steps are removed, and flow and pull are introduced, begin the process again and continue it until a state of perfection is reached in which perfect value is created with no waste” (Lean Enterprises Institute, 2015).
The purpose of the lean production model is to eliminate the waste created during the manufacturing process and to increase the quality of the products (Continental Design and Engineering, 2008). This is done by streamlining the process and eventually reduces costs and production times. There are seven different types of waste identified by lean production: over production, inventory, conveyance, correction, motion, processing and waiting (Continental Design and Engineering, 2008).
In services, Lean must focus on eliminating waste differently than manufacturing. Minimizing lead times between customer demand and fulfillment can be one of the ways to reduce waste. The services sector is now moving towards enhancing the customer experience. With this goal, there should be proper alignment between efforts to improve operational efficiency and achieving more customer satisfaction. (Ganapathy, 2015, p. 5).
Lean is defines the manufacturing philosophy that reduces the time between the shipping and customer demand, which based on the systematic method by eliminating waste, that means giving the customer what they want when they want it, and don 't waste whatever. Rahmana, Sharif and Esa (2013) suggested lean production is mentioned to improve the company 's performance from the philosophy in reducing waste in order. That means, lean system destination is the decrease cost by removing the non-value activities, which they are applying a category of tools and techniques for checking and eliminating defective in the production process. In the Evenort Company should emulate the five overriding principles of lean thinking in terms of implementing lean that there is guarantee the company has been driving correctly in the lean manufacturing (Cardiff 2015) as can show in table 1.
Lean manufacturing, lean enterprise, or lean production, often simply, "Lean," is a production practice that considers the expenditure of resources for any goal other than the creation of value for the end customer to be wasteful, and thus a target for elimination. Working from the perspective of the customer who consumes
Tesla’s success can be traced to superb management, and the futuristic vision of the management team. Even though Tesla is a fairly new company, the success of its products and the management of the firm have help it to become a profitable company in a relatively short period of time. In 2014, the company generated total revenues of $3,198,356,000, with a gross profit of $881,671,000 (Tesla Motors p. 46). The company main source of revenue came from selling electric vehicles, at the same time, the company experienced a high demand of model S vehicles, driven by the growth of Model S vehicle sales worldwide. The high sales were reflected on the firm’s gross margin for 2014, which is estimated at 27.6%, 5.9 points higher than previous year when margins were 22.7% (Tesla Motors p.46)
Developing or making a strategy for a management is very complex in nature. It needs to be made in the uncertainty situations and may also affect the operational decisions. New strategy developed may also involve the change in present culture of an organisation which is difficult and may adversely affect the performance of the organisation. Strategies usually exist at a number of levels in an organisation. Let’s distinguish different levels of strategies and analyse it using Burberry’s strategies. The strategic themes of Burberry are: Leveraging the
As per Mr. John “Waste is another major factor which increase cost for company”. So as per my point of view strong implementation of lean principle will be very effective and proper forecasting of customer order and on the basis of forecasting planning
