Research a specific aspect of either purchasing or supply chain management. For instance, if I were to choose Toyota Motor Company, I would discuss attributes contributing to its lean supply chain management. My hypothesis would be similar to the following…Toyota has achieved manufacturing excellence in the automobile industry by effectively managing its supply chain through: 1) Inventory Optimization, 2) Rapid Fulfillment, 3) Customization, 4) Sustainability and 5) Compliance and Visibility. I would focus my research efforts at examining these five areas to build the case of manufacturing excellence to ultimately support my hypothesis statement.
