Write a paper on Operations Design Business discussion postOperations Design
Henry
Ford’s assembly line was a stepping stone for the pivotal lean supply
chain strategies invented by Toyota. Sam Walton’s focus on low prices
set the stage for the bulk purchasing practices many retailers employ
today. And of course, it was Amazon’s logistics expertise that helped it
begin today’s consumer-driven retail apocalypse. In this discussion,
you will have the opportunity to assess how such innovations advance the
field of operations management and the impact they have on jobs,
consumers, and the economy.
For this discussion, first read New Goals for Advanced, Flexible Manufacturing, Learning to Lead at Toyota.pdf
, and then watch Why Are There Still So Many Jobs? (18:51). Then address the following in your initial post:
Choose
a specific innovation (e.g., assembly line, JIT, interchangeable parts)
that you believe is the most important innovation to have advanced the
field of operations management
Explain why you believe this is the most important innovation to have advanced the field of operations management
Make
sure that you thoroughly describe how that innovation has advanced the
field of operations management and how it has affected jobs, consumers,
and the economy
