Abstract

The globalization greatly affects the market in all manufacturing industries. Simultaneosuly, customer demand calls for improvement in quality of products and services in a manufacturing unit. The attributes for any organization including product quality depend upon the competencies and inadequacies to manage its resources in an optimal manner. The firms must develop strategic objectives, which, when achieved, result in competitive environment. The objective of any given industry is ultimately to follow the path of enhancing productivity, which is not followed normally because of unsystematic and inconsistent methodology. This article has been based on empirical research on World Class Manufacturing System, which incorporates quality management in order to make products of the highest quality eliminating losses in all the factory fields, an improvement of work standards in manufacturing organization.
