Describe at least four sustainability strategies. Review the Virtual Organization Riordan
Manufacturing, which can be accessed through this course’s reading from University of Phoenix
student Web site. Which sustainability strategies would be most appropriate for Riordan
Manufacturing and why?
Four sustainability strategies are the operation strategy that is used to determine where a product
is to be manufactured. This includes supply networks, distribution services, and how it is to be
manufactured. The manufacturing process may be mass production, a flexible manufacturing
system, or a dedicated assembly line. The second listed strategy is the Research and development
strategy. This strategy is based technical innovation and whether and organization is attempting
to be a leader in the industry, or a follower that imitates the leaders and produces products with
lower costs,
A logistic strategy focuses on cost and efficiency of product movement into and out of the
manufacturing process. The logistic strategy has been following three recent trends, the
centralization process, outsourcing, and use of the internet as a tool to reduce travel and
transportation costs. There is the marketing strategy as well; using the marketing strategy an
organization is focused on price, sales, and distribution of a product.
Concerning Riordan industries, the two best strategies would be the research and development
strategy because they are already heavily invested and experienced in R&D, it is one of their
strengths. The other possible strategy could be the operation strategy; Riordan has specific plants
that produce certain products. This type of strategy would work well with business unit
integration. Each unit represents a specific product, process, and function.
