| dc.description.abstract | Impact of Integrated Quality Improvement Teams in Supply Chain Manufacturing (SCM) is a forgotten dimension. Key actors of Supply Chain manufacturing usually operate the Quality Improvement Teams in isolation. Working in isolation, they loose the insight of the problem and its long term impact is missed among the downstream and upstream departments of the Manufacturing Unit. Integrated Quality Improvement Teams working on the common theme not only can affect the operations of key actors of SCM but as well create a bottom line impact while improving the processes. This paper depicts the application model of Integrated Quality Improvement Teams in Supply Chain manufacturing and its impact to enhance the productivity in the key actors of Supply Chain Manufacturing. Quality Circles, Kaizen Groups, Quality Improvement Teams usually take the projects which are distinct in nature. Usually two circles or teams work as a disjoint sets working in their own domains. Integration of the Quality Improvement teams in different upstream and downstream departments of SCM is usually ignored in production environment and makes difficult to understand the underlying causes of the symptoms that create impact on the company profit. This application model portrays the power of integration of Quality Improvement Teams in supply chain manufacturing. Consequently, finger pointing is totally eliminated while addressing the complex inter-related issues among the key actors of supply chain manufacturing. It is hoped that this model will not only highlight the importance of team dynamics but as well improve the decision making process for value chain sustainability. | en_US |
