Abstract
Jenny’s Cycle Components (JCC)
manufactures a product used by an original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) for building
motorcycles. JCC relies on vendors to supply
parts it uses to manufacture its product for the
OEM. Problems involving management
turnover, on-time delivery, and variation in
the quality of purchased parts have been
highlighted by its Lean supply chain. These
problems (as well as increased production
volumes and price concessions demanded by
the OEM) have resulted in reduced profitability
for a capacity-constrained JCC.
