July 1990 Abstract Kodak equipment manufacturing and, specifically, the role of Kodak Apparatus Division (KAD), are examined. KAD, Kodak's shared and captive parts supplier organization, competes with outside vendors to supply Kodak Lines of Business (LoBs) with a variety of fabricated parts, ranging from commodity parts to leading edge optical subassemblies and electronic components. KAD has in recent years suffered from a customer perception of low viability compared to much of its competition. Reviews of Kodak history, culture, and business environment are given, and their effect on KAD manufacturing is discussed.
