·         High scrap rate

·         Low yield

·         Unsafe working conditions with numerous OSHA violations

·         Frequent budget overruns due to numerous flawed and poor quality supplier subassemblies and raw materials, massive overtime wage payouts, fatigued workers, re-run operations to compensate for the high scrap rate.

·         Missed schedules

·         Irate customers

·         Narrow profit margins

·         Threatened worker job actions due to working conditions and enforced oppressive policies

·         Low worker morale and high employment turnover

The company must reengineer itself to a certain degree to take care of is quality, safety, cost and schedule challenges. As a strategic operations analyst, what action plan would you recommend to the senior leadership of the organization to take it from its current conditions to bring it closer to its ideal operating conditions (to become a company known for its high quality products, value to the customer, safe work operations, reliable schedules and lean manufacturing)? Please make sure your recommendations address each of the shortfalls of the organization; support your analysis and recommended solutions with rich research from industry and solid scientific research sources.
