Customer-centric: Customer satisfaction is the fundamental principle that will reveal the importance of overall success of an organization. Specific knowledge about organization’s key focus should be known to employees working in the organization. The major requirements that tend to focus is to resolve the ways to which customer’s are satisfied and analyze the internal as well as external factors of the business.
Involvement of employees: A sense of loyalty is brought while considering the organizational achievement and becoming responsible and loyal to the management and organization.
Leadership driven: Leadership qualities are built among people and this will establish purpose of the organization. Employees should inculcate skills and performance which will establish the purpose of unity in an organization.
Process approach: The activities and resources should be managed efficiently to achieve desired outcome of the business. Therefore a process approach should be managed while managing people and method continuously.
System approach: This approach tends to imply and understand the systems that are interrelated and as a process tends to check, transform and evolve into production process. The systems that are interrelated are managed with adequate human resource and techniques.
Continual improvement: This is the quality improvement function that ensures insights of the business and tends to leverage concise and clear statement with PPM Process Performance Measures.
Factual approach: Data analysis is conducted to make effective and efficient decisions for effective business outcomes.
Win-win situation: Suppliers and organizations tend to depend on each other, which seems to be a mutual beneficial relationship among both the parties, supplier and organization. This is important fr growth of the business.
The method involved in quality improvements are FADE model, PDSA model, Six Sigma model, etc. FADE model consists of four steps. Focus, analyze, develop and evaluate. First it is important that an organization should focus on the process that need to be improved, secondly, it is important that the data analysis need to be carried out for effective and possible solutions, third step is to make plans and improve the major aspects with communication and implementation. Lastly, the data is evaluated and executed with data plans. PDSA model involves a major combination of applying knowledge and building information from the base. PDSA model consists of Plan, Study and Act. PDSA process is a cycle and should be repeated by quality improvement team for effective results. Six sigma is one such important method that denotes standard deviation of mean and time. Six sigma is basically a measurement based method with quality improvement and great success in solving problems of quality and reducing defects.
Operations function
Supply chain management is an operations function that ensures effective management and engages main activities of the business. Supply chain management is the key function to wind turbine supply in a wind industry. The relationships between suppliers and manufacturers have become crucial while understanding the importance of supply chain management. The soaring demand, ramp-up times, greater agility and investments are the basic growth of supply chain management. Manufacturers tend to have a strike between competitive balance and sustainable strategies for vertical integration and supply chain management of turbine designs. The procurement trends is a unique market emphasizes that has each component and underlying aspects of growth in design and manufacturing of wind turbine. There are multiple segments that are considered in manufacturing and supply chain management, includes blades, gearboxes, bearings and other pinch point products that emphasize the supply chain management. There is control all over the castings, generators and tower segments that lowers the entry barriers and ensures number of players in the wind industry. Wind industry is an uneven market across the supply chain management, while the opportunities of growth and integrated market aspects are reduced towards risk and analysis.
The supply chain structure considers shortages of like ripple aspects in the market with disparities in different components in the market. Turbine assembly is largely dictated with the number of units that slip in the tightest pinch point in the market. There is a proliferation in the market that is anticipated with the supply chain and has a competitive growth in the wind industry. The size of the complexity and turbines growth is adequately the major component that cannot be missed. The transportation cost of turbine and the analysis tend to increase the need for overall technical and logistic challenge in the wind industry. As such the average utility scale is considered and largely deals with robust wind industry and its improved turbine performance. The major analysis is towards focusing on the large wind to small wind for improved business performance and landowners benefits that reveals in the industry. Technical aspects are considered with software aspects to be highlighted in the wind industry. For specific type of workflow, a major layout is considered that ensures effective analysis of supply chain management in wind industry.
