As we’ve mentioned before, today’s manufacturers are competing in a global industry by reforming and improving their plant floor operations and supply chain management. Those who aren’t trying to better their lean manufacturing systems are facing competition from practically everywhere and anywhere.
Many manufacturers face the problem of having production processes being accomplished across loosely connected and widely dispersed plants, as well as having supply chains operating in seemingly random locations. However, the solutions to these issues have been focused on urging manufacturers to seek improved efficiency, performance, and operational excellence.
