case study
Analyze the problem that Tom Mathis and Danaher Sensors and Controls needed to solve in this case? What were the surrounding issues of the problem?
In the case there have few problems that needed Tom Mathis and Danaher Sensors and Control get a solution to make the operation reach more successful and efficiency level. At the time before Tom Mathis joined Danaher Sensors and Controls, the enterprise had employed Japanese Kanban method supply chain management instead of replying on a manufacturing resource paining system. Kanban is Japanese for "sign" or "signboard." Used in production operations, it denotes a signal for production to begin, or for material to be moved.Karban system used for the material or parts replenishment affix Karban card to the front of the storage bin. It easy for workers received the information about the material. Through by this method had exist one of the big drawbacks which is the Karban cards often missing by accident or carelessness. Therefore there is creates many problems for the buyers and purchasers. In fact, they didn’t realize how much time buyers actually spend going to the plant floor and calling people to remedy problems caused by missing one card or many cards (Drickhamer, 2005). If a company rely heavily on heavily manual system can bring disadvantages and it may be eliminate in the future. Tom Mathis brings many inventive methods for the company which can reduce cost and increase efficiency. His goal was to purchase lower cost supplies from overseas vendors. However, the organization culture at the Danaher Sensors and Control was accustomed to the Japanese Kanban system which is relying on heavily manual process so that their Karban cards always misplaced and their production suffered as a result. Besides that, pacers have to spend more time to collect the Karban cards and delivering them to the factory buyers. Moreover, Tom Mathis also has a difficult time for running new system which is e-karban system at the Danaher
