2. Principles of Lean Production
TPS Handbook (www.artoflean.com) considers two main pillars of its system:
• Just-in-time that means "Making only what is needed, only when it is needed, and only in the amount that is needed".
• Jidoka that means: "Building Quality into the production process".
This system decreases inventory, and strives to overcome both early and over production. The approach just-in-time (JIT) demands new mechanism of logistic. Process approach helps company to identify violations of the early level.
Toyota Production System (TPS) is the precursor to the Toyota Way which considers two other pillars (Craig Larman and Bas Vodde 2009; HRD):
• Continuous improvement.
Continuous improvement defines Toyota’s basic approach

Value: Specify what creates value from the customer’s perspective. This must be defined by the end consumer, typically in terms of the requirements of a service, product or experience, a channel or method of delivery, a schedule or an ideal lead time, a price and the benefits the consumer expects to achieve. By clearly defining value for a specific product or service from the customers perspective, all the non value activities – or waste – can be targeted for removal.
2. The Value Stream: Identify all steps across the whole value stream. The value stream is the entire flow of a product’s life-cycle from the origin of the raw materials used to make the product through to the customer’s cost of using and ultimately disposing of the product. The value stream can include the complete supply chain.
3. Flow: Make those actions that create value flow. One very significant key to the elimination of waste is flow. If the value chain stops moving forward for any reason, then waste will be occurring. Eliminating this waste ensures that your product or service “flows” to the customer without any interruption, detour or

Perfection: Strive for perfection by continually removing successive layers of waste. The process continues towards the theoretical end point of perfection, where every asset and every action adds value for the end customer. This relentless pursuit of the perfection is key attitude of an organization that is “going for lean”.
As was mentioned above lean production is directed on eliminating any waste what leads to cost reduction. Continuous improvement focuses on the elimination of next major types of waste (TPS; James P. Womack and Daniel T. Jones 2003; Liker, Jeffrey K. 1997):
1. Over-production. Producing items for which there are no orders, which generates overstaffing and storage and transportation costs because of excess inventory.
2. Waiting (time on hand). Workers having to stand around waiting for the next processing step, tool, supply, part, etc., or having no work because of stock outs, lot processing delays, equipment downtime, and capacity bottlenecks.
3. Unnecessary transport or conveyance. Carrying work in process (WIP) long distances, creating inefficient transport, or moving materials, parts, or finished goods into or out of storage or between
Almost 99 percent of everything we by become waste with six week 4.

All individuals are not born perfect. Every individual has their flaws that has a positive or negative impact to those around them and the society. All individuals have flaws that can or cannot hide from the rest of the world. Scholars of psychology argue that obsessions cause individuals to achieve perfection and can have a positive or negative aspect to an individuals’ life. Perfection is the conditions, state, or quality of being free as possible from all flaws or defects.
To begin with, the lean methodology is one that is applicable to all industries, regardless of the present systems and approaches towards management (Tsironis & Psychogios, 2016). Therefore, the major decision is to proceed with the implementation of the lean and other improvement processes, even though it should take different approaches. When considering the challenges noted, most of them emerge from the reactions and actions of the
+ Judging your self-worth basing on your ability to achieve unrelenting standards. + Overcoming negative consequences of demanding standards, never give up even though you need to pay the huge cost. If you always think “I can’t be a perfectionist, because nothing in my life is perfect.” But being a perfectionist isn’t about things being perfect; it 's about
SUPPLY CHIAN NETWORK OF TARGET VALUE CHIAN ANALYSIS OF TARGET Value chain analysis is a set of inter - linked value creating activities performed by the organisation that begin with inputs, go through processing and continue up to outputs manufactured to customers. It is the set of activities that creates additional value for the customer. Value chain plays a central role in improving cost efficiency, quality and customer responsiveness. Each activity in the value chain adds to the value of product in each process from its creation to delivery.
Data collection is essential to the establishment of a baseline for measurable improvement. In order to establish a uniform process at the Electrolux Memphis, Tennessee factory to account for excess raw material not consumed during the course of a day, it is necessary to document the current conditions with recordable data. The focus of the data collected will provide insights into the current variability occurring in the daily process. After determining the variability, instituting stability in the process can ensue.
Operations management needs to be effective by making sure that customers’ needs are being met. The production process is the act of combining various immaterial inputs in order to create a good or service which has value and contributes to the utility of consumers. Dymocks The Company will support the sole trader in negotiating great terms with major suppliers in order to achieve the best benefits and discounts. Once an order has been put in with suppliers, the order will then be processed and the goods will be created.
This means from 2016 to 2017, there was a decrease in profit. This is common in companies in their mature stage, which Johnson & Johnson is. Value Chain Value chain analysis is a tool used for the examination of the strategically relevant activities of a business in order to understand the behavior of costs and the potential sources of differentiation. Johnson & Johnson takes every opportunity to maximize the positive impacts and minimize the risks along its value chain.
Capacity planning This is the process of knowing the production capacity an organization needs to meet the changing demands for the products. It helps to determine the quantity of the product needed by a firm to meet the demands of its customers. The capacity planning elements for Walmart are; facility, product and service, and human resource.
Value Chain Analysis is crucial tool, because it can be applied to all primary and support activities. In primary activities the key for the company is to allocate funds accordingly to the inbound logistic which works in implementing total quality management, to operations with activities such as automation for fast production of athlete apparels, to outbound logistics by having reliable distributor network, to marketing and sales through developing promotion budget, developing sales budget, sales forecasting, and price positioning. In the support activities, I would recommend the company to invest more in Technology Development, and Human Resource Management. Under Armour could increase its innovative drive by creating new products in order to stay on top of the game.
OVERCOMING PERFECTIONISM “Perfection is annihilation. It paralyses us from working from the heart. Humans by nature are not perfect and imperfections are what makes the world beautiful.” Mistakes Are Normal One of the very first things you must reflect on is to accept the fact that mistakes are meant to be made.
Marketing Management Project PROJECT OUTLINE: Choose one company which has a turnaround in the past and one company which failed in the past. Discuss each company’s marketing strategy and reasons for their success or failure. Marketing Strategy Failure: Gap Inc. How Gap turned into Crap! What went wrong?
Analyze Amazon.com using the competitive forces and value chain models. How has it responded to pressures from its competitive environment? How does it provide value to its customers? a) Competitive forces analysis i) Entry of competitors It is easy for competitors to enter the market by establishing an e-shop and Amazon laid the groundwork for competitors (Flat World Business, n.d).
This is the comparison of the benefits offered by a company's product to its customers relative to the price it asks customers to pay. To do this, companies can influence the value proposition in one of two ways mainly. This can be done through long term brand building. They can also offer a relatively low cost to enhance value. Ultimately, the key is that customers perceive that the product's merits exceedingly justify its price.
