SUCCESS ENGINEERING

Question 4: How critical are your SC errors?

 

Not especially critical. We are selling (in some way) the same as our competitors, working with low/very low margins and competing with them basically in price (e.g. Ryanair, generic medical products)

 

If that is your answer, your SC is probably not critical enough to challenge the survival of your SME. Your customers are probably very interested in keeping very low prices although a delay or their requirements are not satisfied at all. Although you will probably not obtain all the potential of ‘4 in a row’, there are some best practices and Lean tools which surely can help you to decrease your waste and make you even more competitive. Your criticality is low in ‘the secret revealing’ cube.
