A simply fantastic video clip explains how consumer products giant LG is moving to smarter, more flexible manufacturing processes as part of its strategy to address the substantial downturn in demand for consumer electronics. Great footage of the production process; excellent examples of quality assurance and relevant too for students learning about why reducing stocks (working capital) is important in managing cash flow. High recommended.
