Johnson Controls, Automotive Systems Group: The Georgetown, Kentucky Plant
內容大綱
Prior to the 1980s, automakers purchased individual seat components and built the seats alongside their auto assembly lines. This case describes how Johnson Controls, Automotive Systems Group, blossomed when automakers turned to outsourcing the complete seat set. The case closely examines one plant, in Georgetown, Kentucky, that switched from just-in-time (JIT) delivery of seat sets to JIT assembly to serve a nearby Toyota Camry assembly operation. Exposes the challenge of dealing with growing seat variation and an opportunity of doubling the plant floor space at a separate site. The specific case question is how the plant should use this new space.
