ARTICLE DESCRIPTION: Is it true that organisations take an unplanned and unstructured approach to the introduction of improvement initiatives? Is it a case of ‘let's look for the latest initiative which will save us' approach rather than thinking through the organisational needs and objectives which may require more intense commitment to current improvement mechanisms and doing them properly.
MORE INFO: Survey of Automotive Component Suppliers in Wales Is it true that organisations take an unplanned and unstructured approach to the introduction of improvement initiatives? Is it a case of ‘let's look for the latest initiative which will save us' approach rather than thinking through the organisational needs and objectives which may require more intense commitment to current improvement mechanisms and doing them properly. This short survey was undertaken as part of a PhD thesis, which investigated sustainable business improvement. The survey was designed to gather information which could be analysed and used to determine the degree of success or failure of selected ‘World Class' initiatives within the automotive manufacturing components supply chain in Wales. A secondary aim was to record the number of initiatives being undertaken by these organisations and thirdly to evaluate whether the initiatives were regarded as being ongoing or complete. The survey is illustrated in Appendix 1.
