High-Volume Manufacturing

Staying Ahead of a Continually Evolving Global Marketplace

Manufacturers mass produce final products such as automobiles and electronics from prefabricated components. In the past, these companies could get by with bureaucratic systems and closely supervised divisions of labor. But now, thanks to a continually evolving global marketplace that regularly presents new obstacles and challenges (because the rules are always changing), the traditional approach is no longer enough—especially when managers are still expected to meet or exceed the same performance levels they have in the past.

The result of this is that companies in this sector need more flexibility to produce as well shortened time lines to implement changes.

The Keys to Mass Producing Discrete Products

This means high-volume manufacturers must:

• Produce higher quality goods at lower prices.
• Develop an efficient operation by gaining more visibility into all their operations, minimizing time and costs in production and making continuous improvements.
• Better utilize capital. Rather than viewing manufacturing as a major cost center, manufacturers must develop it into a competitive advantage through cross functional and company efforts.
• Synchronize their supply chain.
• Provide immaculate service.

Moreover, they must focus on three areas:

• Manufacturing competencies
• Strategic alignment
• Best practices
