Managing Interprocesses in Industrial Companies
2013-2014
Collective Assignment (by group)
Didier Miraton
The CEO of an industrial corporation comes to the conclusion
that he is losing
competitiveness because his company is too slow and too weak in
its ability to bring
innovation to market: research, development and market
introduction of new products and
services take years and correction plans need to be implemented
at launch already.
In addition the industrial definition is inadequate for mass
production, derogations need to
be given, the number of new parts and sku's explode, all
together hampering quality,
productivity, stock management and customer lead-time.
The CEO sets the following goal: divide by 2 the time to market
of new solutions, while
enhancing the innovation content. No launch without industrial
efficiency achieved.
These goals seem impossible to reach by management.
