Decision Making
Decision making involves making a selection among competing alternatives. * What should we be selling? * Who should we be serving? * How should we execute?
Strategy
Strategy is a game plan that enables a company to attract customers by distinguishing itself from competitors.
Focal point of a company’s strategy should be its target customers.
Customer Intimacy Strategy – Understand and respond to individual customer needs.
Operational Excellence Strategy – Deliver products and services faster, more conveniently and at lower prices.
Product Leadership Strategy - Offer higher quality products.
Enterprise Risk Management
A process used by a company to proactively identify and manage risk.
Lean Production – Just-in-time (JIT) production
Customer orders – create order – generate component requirements - components are ordered – production begins – goods delivered.
Only manufactured when product is ordered.
