In short I need good things to rant about with these points:
performance objectives – quality, speed, dependability, flexibility, customisation, cost
new product or service design and development
supply chain management – logistics, e-commerce, global sourcing
outsourcing – advantages and disadvantages
technology – leading edge, established
inventory management – advantages and disadvantages of holding stock, LIFO (last-in-first-out), FIFO (first-in-first-out), JIT (just-in-time)
quality management
– control
– assurance
– improvement
overcoming resistance to change – financial costs, purchasing new equipment, redundancy payments, retraining, reorganising plant layout, inertia
global factors – global sourcing, economies of scale, scanning and learning, research and development
but for an apple case study I can't seem to understand a few of them.
