Description
Research Paper Requirements
Research Paper Purpose
Your paper will be a review an issues that was caused by a failure in the production/operations management process. You will compare and contrast the current research findings with the principles and concepts presented in your Heizer, et al. textbook.
Topic Selection
Find a production/operations management failure in an aviation or aerospace firm. Your search may be conducted online, in trade publications or through published research.

Abstract: Airbus A 380 is the largest passenger Airlines in the world manufactured
by the Airbus. Airbus launched $10.7 billion A380 programmes on December 2000. The
paper states the reason behind the failure of the Airbus A380. Some of the reasons are sales
were hindered by fundamental problems, growth outlook has changed causing a restructuring
of aircraft orders, and end-to-end flying is taking over from hub-and-spoke. It is important to
study the issue so that precautionary methods can be found and implemented d uring the need.

Introduction
Production is one of the major factors in any of the business deals with the
conversion of raw material to the finished goods. It is an act of creating and output in the
form of goods are the services that provide value and utility to the end consumers. The major
factors of production include land, labor, capital, and enterprise. Often, the high production
means that more people are employed and the production is also more than the average. On
the other hand, low productivity means the less number of people employed and the
production is also less than the average.
Airbus A380 is the largest passenger Airlines in the world manufactured by the
Airbus. Airbus launched $10.7 billion A380 programme on December 2000. The first
prototype was launched on January 2005 and the first flight on 27th April 2005. Initially it
was delivered to Singapore Airlines in October 2007. The production increased to 30 aircrafts
per year in 2012 and 2014. The total investment on the aircraft was more than $25 billion and

the company concedes that the invested amount cannot be recouped. The company also states
that the production will end by 2021 with the production of 14 aircrafts. It is important to
study the reason behind the production failure of the Airbus A380 and the paper will also
compare and contrast the research findings with the principles and concepts presented by
Heizer, et al.
Review of literature
The technological development has been taken place at an increased rate resulting in
the introduction of smart manufacturing systems and unmanned production lines. Smart
manufacturing helps to reduce human intervention and also permits the systems to control the
sites intelligently. Considering this, various Global manufacturers like Aviation and
Aerospace companies are trying to develop various smart manufacturing methods. The virtual
factory system is the Digital manufacturing system that solves and manages the problems
related to the overall production process by Linking with various sites in the virtual
environment. The research proposals the systematic design as well as the strategic plan for
the efficient implementation and usability to the real manufacturing companies. Moreover, a
systematic and efficient way of introducing the virtual factory is presented with the help of
diagnosis, analysis as well as the establishment of strategy, implementation plan and system
design. (Choi, Kim, & Noh, 2015)
The authors intended to identify the critical factors that constrain the implementation
as well as the sustenance of the line strategies in the aviation industry and also the ways to
avoid the slow attrition within the annals of lean. The research is exploratory and the survey
methodology was used to assess the post lean management implementation. The purpose of
the study is to cross sectional within the aircraft industry on the basis of information collected
from the case study as well as the survey. The various reason behind the weak

implementation of lean initiatives identified. Some of the measures undertaken in the study
imply the successful turn around of the particular department. The comparison was also done
with the automobile industry indicating the suggestions as well as pitfalls to be avoided. The
reason behind the study was aircraft manufacturers and the limitations to them in terms of
scope. The research has implications for the managers in alm...
