Abstract

This case details the working of Indian Foundries Limited, a company which has been in business for 32 years. It has been producing a large volume and variety of high quality foundry products, mainly for export markets. Of late, however, the company has been facing problems of high lead times, excess inventory stocks and in-process quality defects. These problems have come at a particularly bad time when Indian Foundries is facing stiff competition from Chinese exporters. For Indian Foundries the need is for a quick fix of their problems: otherwise they are likely to lose their core customer base to the Chinese.
