Abstract:
|
The case examines the problems faced by leading aircraft manufacturer Boeing on
the production front due to which it was even forced to close down its
manufacturing plants for one month. The case details the reasons for the failure
of lean manufacturing initiatives implemented by Boeing in the early 1990s and
the steps it took to overcome these problems. The case also provides information
about the lean manufacturing concept, its history and benefits and highlights
the differences between lean manufacturing and traditional manufacturing.
