cost an organization their competitive edge. In the case of Circuit City According to Hitt‚ Ireland‚ & Hoskisson (2010) they implement a poor strategy and could not manage its inventory. No kidding I remember going to circuit city and they always have just about any movie in stock on the floor and many copies. As I have been taught in most of my business classes that inventory is one of the most expensive assets you can have. Circuit City let go of all the high paid employee in other words the leadership

PROJECT IN T.L.E Electronic Components Diodes a diode is a two-terminal electronic component with asymmetric conductance‚ it has low (ideally zero) resistance to current flow in one direction‚ and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the other. A semiconductor diode‚ the most common type today‚ is a crystalline piece of semiconductor material with a p–n junction connected to two electrical terminals. A vacuum tube diode has two electrodes‚ a plate (anode)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The philosophy of just-in-time (JIT) originated in Japan 50 years ago at Toyota Motor Co. The goal is to create a production environment driven by demand that holds only a small amount of inventory and products at any given time. Organizations in the manufacturing‚ service and public sectors are implementing a wide variety of innovative managerial tools and JIT philosophy to help them deal with the highly competitive‚ customer-driven environments in which they must operate.

waste as means to reduce costs and improve product quality. Just – in – time (JIT)‚ the formalized process of reducing waste reduction‚ has achieved a strong foothold in the manufacturing sector. However‚ the services sector has not been able to recognize the benefits of JIT. Services are very much like the manufacturing in sense‚ both employ processes that add value to the basic inputs used to create the end product. JIT focuses on the process‚ not the product. It can therefore‚ applied to any process

4 Explain the implications of quality in a MRP system‚ a JIT system‚ and in Synchronous Manufacturing. Which system do you believe to be superior? Why? Jacobs and Chase (2011) state that an MRP system allows for rejects by building larger batch quantities than actually needed. They further state that a JIT system cannot tolerate poor quality because JIT success is based on balanced capacity and a defective part can shut down an entire JIT system (Jacobs & Chase‚ 2011‚ p. 695). A synchronous
