Nissan: Recovering Supply Chain Operations

內容大綱
<p>Nissan&rsquo;s Strategy in Operations Management&nbsp;</p> <p>Nissan's resilience strategy&nbsp;in&nbsp;international&nbsp;business&nbsp;had been considered an exemplary response to the triple disaster in Japan in March 2011. The Japanese automobile industry made their respective recovery efforts to resume production and delivery of vehicles after suffering damage from an earthquake, tsunami, and a nuclear crisis, but it took months before they could reach pre-disaster levels of operations. Nissan's resilience practices,&nbsp;operations management,&nbsp;and supply chain disruption management were acknowledged as superior to those of their peers and were appreciated by experts and analysts. Nonetheless, it took Nissan more than a month to resume production, and each day of lost production cost Nissan $25 million.&nbsp;</p>
