Midland Components Star-line

Chapter 6 in Managing Manufacturing Operations: Analysis and Discussion, 1978, pp 22-27 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The case reveals the power and significance of group working in the context of product-line manufacture and evaluates it in financial terms. It provides an interesting contrast with the previous case, although both involve the same company. The Star-line operation is physically adjacent to the machine shop but represents an entirely different style and character of operations management activity — though perhaps this is not noticeable to senior management.
