MANUFACTURING

World Class
Manufacturing
A position of international

manufacturing excellence, achieved by

developing a culture based on factors
such as
Continuous improvement,
Problem prevention,
Zero defect tolerance,
Customer-driven just-in-time production,
Total quality management
Lean production

 World Class Manufacturers are those

that demonstrate industry best

practice
To achieve this companies should
attempt to be best in the field at each
of the competitive priorities
quality, price, delivery speed, delivery

reliability, flexibility and innovation

Organisations should therefore aim to

maximise performance in these areas

in order to maximise competitiveness

Dimensions of
competitiveness

Cost or price
Quality
Product or service differentiation
Dependability as a supplier
Reliability
Flexibility
Speedy delivery
Customer service
Employee productivity and managerial
expertise

Why organization fail in

competition
Higher focus on short term gain at expense of

R&D
Failure to take advantages of strengths &
opportunities and / or failure to recognize
own weakness and competitive threats
Neglecting production strategy
Too much emphasis on product and service
design at the expense of process design
Neglecting investments in capital and human
resources
Lack of good internal communication and
cooperation among different functional areas
Failure to consider customer need and want

Manufacturing excellence can be

obtained by

Do nothing that does not add value to the
product or to the customer
Continuous Improvement

Suggests that every aspects of

manufacturing is dedicated to making it
better in ways small and big
Just in Time (JIT) / Total Quality

Management

 To achieve manufacturing excellence

Throughput should go up
Inventory should come down
Operating expenses should come down
Cycle time should come down
Yield should go up
