dc.description.abstractHigh inventory has been one of the unstable operation factors in fiber optics manufacturing projects in VTR Penang, a contract manufacture. This case study looks into the particularly high inventory turnover days issue encountered in a newly launched fiber optics project-MI5K project in VTR. MI5K is a high mix low volume manufacturing project with 60 days inventory turnover target， however the actual performance is 82 days. The study begins with understanding the existing workflow together with the business intelligence system. Current issues such as lack of business intelligence system integration, high reject rate, long failure analysis lead-time, and material over purchase and shortage were discussed. To further understand the potential root causes of those issues, a comprehensive analysis is performed using interview, fish bone, Parato, Benchmarking analysis tools. The goal for this case study is to find out the possible solutions to improve the inventory management process in order to achieve the 60 days target.en_US
