Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Customer-driven manufacturing is the key concept for the factory of the future. The markets for consumer goods are nowadays marked by an increase in variety, while at the same time showing steadily decreasing product life-cycles. In addition, tailoring the product to the customer's needs is becoming increasingly important in quality improvement. These trends are resulting in production in small batches, driven by customer orders. Customer-driven Manufacturing adopts a design-oriented approach, splitting the realisation of customer-driven manufacturing into three main steps. Firstly, you must understand the primary process of your business. The second step is to analyse and re-design the management and control of the organisation. Finally, the organisation's information system must be analysed and redesigned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Businesses worry about new technologies, but customers are the ultimate disruptors—Suman Sarkar offers bold strategies for making sure you understand your customers and keep up with their ever-changing needs. Disruption—the brutal roiling of markets, the decline of long-established brands and products, and the rise of new upstarts—drives business failure and success. Most people think technology causes disruption, but technology merely enables it. Changing customer needs cause disruptions, and too many businesses get caught unaware. Suman Sarkar offers proven strategies that will enable any business to stay radically close to its customers and address their evolving needs. He argues that businesses need to focus on existing customers first—research shows they’re likely to spend more and are more profitable than new customers. Personalization is becoming important for the newer generations in both developed and developing markets, so Sarkar describes approaches to make them cost-effective. In our era of instant gratification, customers want what they want now—Sarkar explains how you can develop and deliver products and services faster than ever. And since a few bad Yelp reviews, social media posts, or angry tweets from customers can ruin you, Sarkar shows how to proactively make sure the quality of your products and services stays better than that of your competitors. The key to survival in this era of changing customer needs is to focus on and address them quickly so customers don’t switch to the competition. Drawing on his experiences with leading companies worldwide, Sarkar offers five strategies and techniques that will keep you ahead of the curve.

Download or read book Customer Driven Supply Chains written by Andrew C. Lyons and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the supply chain has become a key element to the survival and prosperity of organisations in different industry sectors. Organisations dealing in dynamic business environments demand supply chains that support the satisfaction of customer needs. The principles of lean thinking that once permeated standalone organisations have now been transferred to the supply chain, making imperative the development of innovative approaches to supply chain management. Customer-driven Supply Chains: Strategies for Lean and Agile Supply Chain Design reviews the concept of lean thinking and its relationship to other key initiatives associated with supply chain management. Detailed industrial case studies based on the authors’ experience illustrate the principles behind lean supply chains. Moreover, a series of diagrams are used to illustrate critical concepts and supply chain architectures. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of transferring lean principles from the organisational level to the supply chain level. The theory and principles behind lean supply chains are reviewed. Other concepts related to lean supply chains discussed in the book include: mass customisation, agility, information sharing and the bullwhip effect. A methodology used to measure the performance of supply chains is introduced; this methodology comprises the tools of decision timeline, data-flow diagramming, supply chain value stream mapping and a performance measurement scorecard. Readers will gain a clear picture of the competitive implications of lean supply chains. Customer-driven Supply Chains: Strategies for Lean and Agile Supply Chain Design will be a valuable resource of material to students studying supply chain/operations management as well as researchers in this field. Industry practitioners will learn how to develop sound supply chain strategies that can have a positive impact in their organisation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Customer Driven Strategy Thomas F. Wallace Strategic Planning, in many companies, consists of annual treks to resorts for two days of planning and one day of golf. These strategy "retreats" often produce impressive, bound plans, which tend to collect dust on the bookshelves of managers throughout the company. The net impact on the business is obviously nil. Despite this annual performance gap, developing a dynamic operating strategy is essential to the survival and success of every enterprise. It's also critical for companies to develop a viable strategy by creating customer-driven plans, focused on consistently delivering value to the customer in every aspect of a company's operation. Customer-Driven Strategy takes you beyond the traditional approaches to planning and strategy implementation. It brings the reality of delivering value to your customers into the essential aspects of your business. It helps you to create, implement, and manage a flexible, dynamic plan that's committed to your customer. Tom Wallace shows how to develop this customer-driven perspective by implementing a holistic, fully integrated strategic approach in the following areas: Initiating a customer-driven planning process Leveraging continuous-improvement initiatives Developing innovative approaches in high performance work teams Creating a learning environment that fosters constant innovation Maximizing the market impact of new products Using planning and control systems to their greatest potential Sustaining new partnerships with suppliers for competitive advantage Developing accurate, effective performance measures Implementing customer-driven strategies for the maximum benefit of the business-and your customers Packed with practical advice and guidelines, Customer-Driven Strategy gives you the proven tools and techniques to realize significant improvements in your company's operations-today. In addition, you can learn how Hewlett Packard, Steelcase, Tellabs, and other companies dramatically improved their performance through customer-focused strategic planning.
