Current Pressed Face Powder Production Process: Raw materials are received at the Minnesota facility. They are transferred to bulk storage tanks, tested for perity and toxins, and then air flown into a tank. They wait until a tank truck can ship it to Puerto Rico, they are inspected at customs and at the factory and are transferred to storage tanks in Puerto Rico. They are then purified, distilled, and mixed with other chemicals and colors. They are transferred to storage tanks, and then later, transferred into containers, where they are shipped to Strasbourg France. At the port they are inspected and transferred to trucks, and when they reach Strasbourg, they are pumped into storage tanks, piped into manufacturing equipment, tested, sterilized, and compressed into compacts. The plastic components and paper packaging are produced in the Czech Republic and shipped to Strasbourg. The finished product is inspected and shipped to a warehouse in Cologne, Germany. Research each of Deming's 14 points for management. Then, on the Discussion Board, include the following items: • Which of the points do you think are most important, and why? • If management were to implement one of Deming's points each year, do you believe that this methodology would be effective? Why or why not? • Create an ideal process map with minimal waste. How will the new process meet each of Deming's 14 points?
