CASE STUDY:
Amit Berry is the president and the owner of ABBC Ltd. a leading cosmetic suppliers across transatlantic region. Berry realized that if his company was to survive in the long run, the manufacturing operations need to become more effective and the company has to revise its strategy in order to cope with prevailing competition in the market. Relaxed tariff barriers had become an head-ache to Berry because it increased the level of competition to them in all of the country in transatlantic region, particularly in the cosmetics industry.
GATT had meant relaxed tariff barriers, allowing the free flow of goods and services into that region. Thus it result in increase of foreign manufactured products, including cosmetics, which were priced competitively and were perceived by domestic consumers to be superior in quality. Now the company is facing a cut throat competition. Berry had gone in silence and did not know what to do? When to do?
Berry had recently attended a seminar on total quality management sponsored by the local trade association. Despite benefits of TQM and the record of its past successes, Berry was uncertain whether his company would be able to implement TQM, a system that appeared to the based on different norms and values than those of the workers of that region.
