As you are researching companies using lean systems, also investigate the companies’ stance on quality control and environmental impact. Look for the following:
Quality statements
Quality assurance policies and procedures
Quality controls
Environmental impact statements
Environmental impact policies and procedures (green systems)
Environmental impact controls
Make notes on lean systems, quality, and the environment (green systems) as you are conducting your research.
Organize your notes and outline the information in order to write a five-to six-page paper. Your paper should answer the following questions:
Why did you choose this company?
What is the main function of the business?
What is the company’s approach to using lean systems?
What are the company’s approaches to quality, quality assurance, and quality controls?
What green systems are the company using or planning to use in the future?
How do decisions regarding each of these three concerns affect decisions regarding the other two?
What is your evaluation of how well the company is incorporating quality and green systems into its operations.
What recommendations would you make regarding ways to incorporate lean systems, quality, and green systems into the company’s operations?
