Introduction: Productivity is the ability of an organization to utilize its own available resources in order to produce profitable goods or services as desired by its customers or clients. Productiveness helps to increase the overall efficiency of any organization. Once the efficiency of the organization increased, the production capacity of the organization is utilized to the optimum level. Thus, all available resources are used in an efficient and effective manner to get the best possible results

The diversification of customer needs results in the competition more and more intense. Thus, both competitive advantage and core competency are the effective weapons to come after competitors in a globalized market. A lot of well-known companies rely on a resource-based strategy to develop through technologic assets and intellectual properties like Google, IBM, and Apple. However, such strategy is not good enough to deal with challenges through remaining competitive strategy in changing business

IMPLEMENTING LEAN SIX SIGMA FOR PROCESS IMPROVEMENT ILI MARINI BT ZAINAL ABIDIN 1. ABSTRACT Lean Six Sigma approach is recognized widely and has been implemented predominately in manufacturing rather than other industries. To illustrate the point, this paper draws attention to the adoption of Lean Six Sigma in various industries with a case study. The combination of Lean tools and Six Sigma methodology is used to improve the process and quality by eliminating the variations and

In this paper, we tried to present an overview on the Just In Time practices and how it originated and what it involves from goals and objectives; that would make organizations all over the world apply the concept while aiming at enhancing it's production, minimizing costs and thus generating more revenues. We also tackled Toyota- Car Manufacturing Company as a case study for being one of the very first manufacturers who gave up old traditional manufacturing practices and started implementing JIT

VMPS Facts What is the Virginia Mason Production System? The Virginia Mason Production System (VMPS) is a management method that seeks to continually improve how work is done so there are zero defects in the final product. Using this method, Virginia Mason (VM) identifies and eliminates waste and inefficiency in the many processes that are part of the health care experience, making it possible for VM staff to deliver the highest quality and safest patient care. By streamlining repetitive and low-touch

Final Project of Competitive Advantage and Operations Strategy Zijing Chen 661027591 December 3, 2015 Abstract Lean is a systematic method to root out of Muda (waste), and thus increase efficiencies within a manufacturing system. During the production, values are added to the process. For example, when assembling a component, the final product is the value a customer is willing to pay for it. Lean is an important manufacturing philosophy that leads to improvement of processes. In class, there were

that is also implemented with the objective of increasing profit. Lean thinking originated in Japan, and is best exemplified by the Toyota Production System. Constraints placed on the Japanese manufacturing industry after the second world war lead Taiichi Ohno of Toyota to pioneer a new type of production system that was so different, and so much better, than mass production, as to warrant a new type manufacturing. Lean production is a method of organizing production using half the effort, space, inventory
