From the supplier: World-class manufacturing (WCM) techniques provide companies with the opportunity to update old or outdated production processes, raise productivity levels, and enhance competitive advantage. The implementation of WCM would result in the restructuring of R&D, purchasing, inventory control and distribution processes and strategies. Characteristic WCM techniques are just-in-time (JIT) inventory control, rapid-cycle manufacturing (RCM), product teams, value chains and concurrent engineering. Critical to the effective implementation of all these techniques is the empowerment of employees by management, the presence of a continuous line of products and processes that provide links extending from the suppliers of raw materials to the product's end users, and the company's total commitment to the changes that will occur with the implementation of WCM techniques.
