INTRODUCTION DEFINATION AND MEANING Inventory is a list of goods and materials, or those goods and materials themselves, held available in stock by a business. Inventory are held in order to manage and hide from the customer the fact that manufacture/supply delay is longer than delivery delay, and also to ease the effect of imperfections in the manufacturing process that lower production efficiencies if production capacity stands idle for lack of materials. The reasons for keeping stock All these stock reasons can apply to any owner or product stage. Buffer stock is held in individual workstations against the possibility that the upstream workstation may be a little delayed in providing the next item for processing. Whilst some processes carry very large buffer stocks, Toyota moved to one (or a few items) and has now moved to eliminate this stock type. Safety stock is held against process or machine failure in the hope/belief that the failure can be repaired before the stock runs out. This type of stock can be eliminated by programmes like Total Productive Maintenance Overproduction is held because the forecast and the actual sales did not match.

  • Siemens Company History Phase8
    New paths in a time of crisis 1989–2006 The years from 1989 to 2006 confronted the company with challenges unlike any before – including the first comprehensive reform of the corporate organization, the launch of the Ten- Point Program, and the compliance crisis – that compelled its chief players to make fundamental changes. 1989 was a year of profound changes, not just for Germany and global politics, but for Siemens. Twenty years after the company’s last major organizational reform, there was a need for action. Siemens AG had outgrown the structure that had been laid out back in 1966 and 1969. Where revenues in fiscal 1969 had been 12.7 billion deutschmarks, by 1986 they had risen to 51.4 billion. The number of business units had grown to eight by the end of the 1980s. Karlheinz Kaske, CEO from 1981 to 1992, aimed to improve "mo- bility, effectiveness and competitiveness," with an organizational structure that took due account of the company's changing envi- ronment – the technological paradigm shift from mechanical de- vices to electronics and microelectronics, the growth of interna- tional business, a greatly expanded worldwide customer base, and ever-intensifying competition. So top management first of all set up a more effective administrative structure. The eight former business units were rearranged into 15 new, leaner units, two operating Groups with their own legal form, and two independ- ent Divisions. Each was responsible for its own profits and value chain – from development through production to sales – and each was managed by three Group Executive Managers. Top management, which formerly included more than 30 people, was © Siemens Historical Institute 2017 1/4 siemens.com/history cut by a third.

  • Siemens A.G. Business Information, Profile, and History
    Siemens A.G. Business Information, Profile, and History http://companies.jrank.org/pages/3759/Siemens-G.html Wittelsbacherplatz 2 D 80333 Munich Germany Siemens A.G. is Europe's largest electrical and electronics company, producing over 50,000 products manufactured at 400 sites in 40 countries. Referring to the company's history of achieving success through well engineered refinements of other people's inventions, one Fortune analyst noted that "second is best" might well serve as Siemens' motto. But opportunism is not the only interesting facet of Siemens' history, which is also a story of a long family tradition and intimate involvement with some of the most important events of the 19th and 20th centuries. Siemens & Halske was founded in Berlin in 1847 by Werner Siemens and J. G. Halske to manufacture and install telegraphic systems. Siemens, a former artillery officer in the Prussian army and an engineer who already owned a profitable patent for electroplating, was the driving force behind the company and remained so for the rest of his life. The company received its first major commission in 1848, when it contracted to build a telegraph link between Berlin and Frankfurt. Construction of telegraph systems boomed in the mid 19th century, and Siemens & Halske was well equipped to take advantage of the situation. In 1853, it received a commission to build an extensive telegraph system in Russia. Upon its completion, the company opened an office in St. Petersburg under the direction of Werner Siemens' brother Carl Siemens. In 1857 Siemens & Halske helped develop the first successful deep sea telegraphic cable.

  • Siemens Company History
    Company history Beginnings and initial expansion (1847–1865) Werner Siemens – known as Werner von Siemens from 1888 when he was raised to the nobility – was born in 1816 in Lenthe, near Hanover, Germany. As his family lacked the resources to pay for a university education, he joined the Prussian army in 1835, where he spent three years studying mathematics, physics, chemistry and ballistics at the Artillery and Engineering Academy in Berlin. Werner von Siemens was awarded his first Prussian patent in 1842 – for an electrolytic method of gold and silver plating. His younger brother Wilhelm later marketed this invention successfully in Britain. In 1846, Werner von Siemens hit upon an idea for improving the Wheatstone telegraph. Using just simple means – cigar boxes, tinplate, pieces of iron, and some insulated copper wire – he designed his own pointer telegraph. He entrusted the apparatus‘ construction to a mechanical engineer, Johann Georg Halske, who was won over by its simplicity and reliability. In Berlin in October 1847, the two men formed their own company, Telegraphen-Bauanstalt von Siemens & Halske, and set up a small workshop in a back building at 19 Schöneberger Strasse. A week after the company was founded, the design of the pointer telegraph was awarded a patent in Prussia. In 1847, Werner von Siemens developed a gutta percha press that made it possible to create seamless insulation for copper wire. This and the pointer telegraph marked two key advances on the road toward modern telecommunications. A year later, the company received a government contract to install a telegraph line between Berlin and Frankfurt/Main – the company’s first major success – and Siemens managed to complete the line in time for the Prussian monarch’s election as Germany’s hereditary emperor.
