Logistics Quality and Reliability Management

Question: Discuss about the Logistics Quality and Reliability Management. Answer: Introduction: With the changing market and the simulation of the company, Supreme MicroTech has been able to handle the different standards and the corporate responsibilities. The designing is based on scheduling with the setup of the sales office with the decision of different web centres. For a better processing, the review is based on handling the quality, time and the costs. This will improve the target performance and the business processes in effective manner. The costs per unit of the measure, productivity and the cycle time is able to measure the metrics of performance that has been compared to the management standards. (Ribeiro et al., 2016). For the benchmarking, there have been customers, employees and the suppliers to handle the focus groups with the in-depth marketing research and process mapping in an effective manner. The identification of the organisation is set with the customers, suppliers and the financial analysts to handle the trade associations with determining the worth of s tudy. Hence, as per the set standards, the measures are based on handling the detailed surveys to measure and work on the database costs. (Zhang et al., 2016). The organisation is set to create and maintain the database which has been associated to the business sectors and making the benchmarking to a cheaper level. The lean six sigma works on the improvement of the performance by the removal of the wastes. It combines with the different kinds of the strategy which includes the transportation, overproduction, processing, defects and the skills. The focus has been on reducing the defects which are critical to the quality. Hence, the standards are set to define the different problems with managing and improving the business processes. (Kalra et al., 2016). The lean approach is for the business to properly streamline the manufacturing and the production processes. The major focus has been on the different steps with the creation of product that adds the value to the same. The determination is about the proponents that works with the waste which mainly results from the variation in the process. (Chhikra et al., 2017). The optimisation of the business with the lean six sigma training has been the reality where designing is based on the teams to assign the well-defined projects that have a major impac t on the bottom line of the organisation. The training standards and the advancement in the statistics focus on project management with the different levels and the roles set to measure, define and analyse the complete business strategy. (Adebanjo et al., 2016). Applications of Business Process Change With the changing standards, the processes of business are changed with the activities and tasks that produce the specific service. For this, there have been visualisation of the flowchart where the activities are set with the interleaving decision points as the process matrix. To handle the process, the people are working on the price with the standards to hold the retail pricing. The assessment is with the political, social and the technology pattern where the manufacturing and the planting efficiency depends on the production. The technique is based on handling the processes with the drastic decrease in the cost for the company with cost sharing and the development of the efficient tools. It is for the comparison of the performance which is in between the groups or the teams in the organisation which includes the process, strategic and the performance benchmarking. (Donovan et al., 2016). The business process for the lean six sigma works on the corporate governance and the strateg ic management where the operational process is constituted of the core business patterns. The business process works on the process oriented organisations with the structural departments set to contribute to the super process. (Prashar et al., 2016). The addition of the value for the customer does not include any unnecessary activity rather focus on the structured forms with the creation of customer value. The organisational activities are set with the process based standards in the primary value flow that has been created in the customer oriented primary process. The emphasis is also on linking the activities to take the input and work on the creation of an output. (Laurani et al., 2016). The processes define the boundaries and the order which has been set for embed and cross-functionality. The workflow is important for the information with certain procedures and the people who are involved for the business process. (Sagnak et al., 2016). The covering of the identification, change and the monitoring is to handle the evaluation of the processes with the identification to work on improvement. The process chain works on the sequential forms of the sub-processes or the tasks which are set with the alternative paths. (Rathi et al., 2016). The standards are mainly to achieve the outputs with the organisational units or the internal and external stakeholders. With the changing standards, the performance of the functions can easily be accessed where there are patterns to hold the improvement of the organisation. The quality management with the advancement in the information technology has helped in improving the business operations and the other systems. The Business Process Modelling Notation works on the standards which are important for the business modelling where the work can be set to develop the standards and the specifications to promote and collaborate with the integration of people, systems and the processes. (Antony et al., 2016). The business process main ly comprises of the sequential sub-process with the alternative paths that depend on the conditions that are applicable for the given objectives. The process is set for the better inputs where the organisational units are set with the internal and the external stakeholders. (Chang, 2016). The process of the business is set with the data processing system like the ERP and the computer based patterns that is able to set the policies, processes and the detailed procedures in an effective manner. The greater standards and the control is to execute and work towards the prevention of the order quantity by the permissible tolerance which is always displayed. (Sagnak et al., 2016). Organisation Improving the Processes The organisation has been working on the different functions and the processes where the suppliers are paid and the inventories are managed in an effective manner. (Zhang et al., 2016). The quality control function is performed with the customer orders that are filled and shipped to maintain the performance. It also enables the managers to proper determine the improvement opportunities along with the enhancement of the performance which is relative to the customer standards. The companies are working for the cooperative business and the implementation of the new technology, outsourcing and the restructuring of the information technology functions. It also focusses on the best of the best where the performance is set into the opportunities for the improvement. (Mclvor, 2016). It also enables the company to properly identify the relevant standards and work on supporting the quality improvement programs to motivate the staff for improving the performance. (Kumar et al., 2016). The targe t roles, processes and the success factors are important to work on gaining the competitive advantage with the focus on potential areas for improvement. (Tsironis et al, 2016). Applying Benchmarking and/or Lean Six Sigma With the changing standards, benchmarking has been able to work on the quality programs with the cost reduction and the budget process. To handle the management, the change is mainly in the new operations and the ventures to rethink about the existing strategies with the competitive assaults and the crisis. The company needs to work on the internal benchmarking technique with the proper analysis of the organisational divisions. (Garza et al, 2017). The strengths and the weakness is for the successful strategy where the prioritization is based on identifying the customer expectation with the industry benchmarking. The trends are depending upon the performance baselines with the operations set to provide a broad scope with the best opportunities possible. The focus is on the roles, processes and the strategic issues where there is a possibility to examine the functions or the missions of the organisation. It also includes the vertical benchmarking where the standards are based on speci fic process or the activity. The different source of the information includes the trading meetings (Dale et al., 2016) with the industry experts and the consumers for handling the marketing perspectives. (Sagnak et al., 2016). The facilitation is based on the productivity to conduct the survey with the end user support. In the case of simulation of Supreme MicroTech, the process of the company has changed over the quarters to accommodate for the latest market trends. The company profile has been improved by the change in manufacturing the products by the company Supreme MicroTech. The decisions where based on market research done for the company by the analysts. The company products were analysed using benchmarking concepts against other product of different companies, of the same type. The concept has been applied to check the product if they meet the latest market trend and needs of the consumers and users of the product. As Supreme MicroTech not only provide the product, that is computers, to the users, but also support to the customers, the market analysis has been done on the same line of research. The feedback from the users has been analysed to develop new product by the company to accommodate for the growing needs of the latest and advanced computers. The benchmarking has been done on the employees and workers working for the organisation, and their benefits has been increased to improve their productivity. This has shown significant improve in the efficiency of the employees and workers. The analysis of the market has been also used to open new service points as well as manufacturing units. Some of the computers that were manufactured by Supreme MicroTech were discarded as well, considering market trend. The change in the business process has shown improvement in not only the market stand of thee company but also on the profits of the company and the cash flows. The profit has improved over the quarters and cash flow has been positive. The company has improved their ranking in the world market of computers in the fields of their production. The networks are for the application benchmarking which are for analysing the system, development and the maintenance programming and functionality. (Marzaga et al., 2016). The strategy is set to include the assessment of the skills and the information technology to align with the roles and the responsibilities. There have been management functions to process the work in an effective manner. (Siddiqui et al, 2016). The historical success, time and staff is for the complete understanding of the process to be benchmarked. Hence, the transaction cost is to handle the data which can easily be interpreted to make the organisations work on the follow-th rough process with the assistance from the consultants.
