The transportation costs for the Ultamyacin are high, but so are the costs of building an entirely new manufacturing facility. A description of the processes is listed. The company does not know how to proceed but is beginning to embrace TQM thinking. To encourage this new direction, you want to bring more information and analysis to the next management meeting. You believe Deming's steps could be applied here, as well as process mapping to determine what the company should do next.
To prepare for this assignment:
- Review the Current Pressed Face Powder Production Process (below)
- Research each of Deming's 14 points for management.
